Ingredients

    4 large organic egg whites, at room temperature
    115g Chelsea Caster Sugar
    115g Chelsea Berry Flavoured Icing or Chelsea Icing Sugar

Method

    Preheat the oven to 100°C fan bake. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

    Tip the egg whites into a large clean mixing bowl (not plastic). Beat them on medium speed with an electric hand whisk for 3 minutes. Turn the speed up and start to add the Chelsea Caster Sugar, a dessert spoonful at a time. Continue beating for 3-4 seconds between each addition. It's important to add the sugar slowly at this stage as it helps prevent the meringue from weeping later. However, don't over-beat. When ready, the mixture should be thick and glossy.

    Sift a third of the flavoured icing sugar over the mixture, then gently fold it in with a big metal spoon or rubber spatula. Continue to sift and fold in the icing sugar a third at a time. Again, don't over-mix. The mixture should now look smooth and billowy, almost like a snow drift.

    Scoop up a heaped dessert spoonful of the mixture and put on baking tray or put into a piping bag and pipe onto the baking paper. You can just drop them in rough rounds, if you prefer. Bake for 1 1⁄2 - 1 3⁄4 hours in a fan oven until the meringues sound crisp when tapped underneath.

    Leave to cool on the trays or a cooling rack. (The meringues will now keep in an airtight tin for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for a month.) Serve two meringues sandwiched together with a generous dollop of softly whipped double cream or Chantilly cream.

Way to runny never use this recipe

Meringues were perfect until I added icing sugar mix. Super sad because I was so excited!

Nice recipe, shame the ingredients are not listed as “icing sugar”. You have to read the whole recipe to get that information.

Best meringues my family and I have ever had.

Too runny.

The recipe says to add caster sugar too early.

Great easy recipe... only meringue recipe I use ...

These were perfect, kids made them and the left overs kept for ages.

The Meringues were fine, but baking paper is the biggest lie in history.

This recipe didn't work for me at all. I think maybe the icing sugar must've made the mixture too runny so I couldn't even put them in the oven.
