It is necessary
-
- fresh eggs - 4 pcs;
- sugar or powdered sugar - 1 tbsp.
Instructions
Step 1
Chill the eggs in the refrigerator before making the meringue, which will significantly reduce the whipping time. Use fresh eggs only.
Step 2
To prepare the meringue, take a clean and dry dish, separate the whites from the yolk. Remove them from the raw egg by piercing the hole with a large needle on both sides. The container where the proteins should be poured can be made of any material - ceramics, glass, it is important not to use aluminum dishes, otherwise you will get proteins with a gray tint.
Step 3
Take a mixer with frame attachments. Beat the whites, starting at the lowest speed, gradually increasing the speed of the attachments. Be sure to make sure that the whisk reaches the bottom of the dish with proteins and whips the entire volume of the meringue, otherwise the whites may remain liquid at the bottom.
Step 4
Once the meringue starts to thicken, start adding the sugar. Add it gradually, one fourth of a teaspoon while beating with a mixer. All the sugar added right away will instantly dissolve into the meringue and make it runny, which you won't be able to fix. When preparing meringue cakes, use powdered sugar at the rate of 1: 4, i.e. for 1 cup of powdered sugar, take 4 proteins.
Step 5
Determine the degree of readiness of the meringue by the foam and the volume of proteins. The foam should be thick and not spread, and the mass itself, brought to readiness, is several times larger than its original volume.
