Light in Flavour

When you want a delicate sweetness in your baking, using White Sugar or Caster Sugar can provide a subtle sweetness that enhances the other flavours without overpowering them.

Fruity

Using fruit can add a natural, fruity sweetness to baking, creating a refreshing, light flavour or adding sweet tartness. White Sugar or Caster Sugar in baking, allows the flavour of the fruit to shine and Jam Setting Sugar preserves the taste of fruit in vibrant jams.

Nutty

Coconut Sugar bring a subtle nuttiness to baked goods, elevating the taste with a mild, natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with tropical flavours.

Spiced

Using sugars with spices like cinnamon, ginger, licorice or chai can lend a warm, aromatic sweetness to baking.

Caramel

Utilising brown sugars or incorporating caramelised sugar syrups creates a richer, deeper flavor profile, adding a hint of caramel or toffee-like taste.

Chocolate

Chocolate adds a decadent richness to baked goods with its deep cocoa flavour, making it perfect for indulgent treats. Try adding a deep flavoured Brown Sugar to the mix for enhanced chocolate flavour.

A wonderful marshmallowy meringue to use as a dessert topping. Adding hot sugar syrup means the meringue cooks so you don't have to bake it. And a quick once over with a brulee torch gives it a classic finish!

Method
Note: You will need a sugar thermometer for this recipe and an electric mixer.
Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Reduce heat to medium and cook until syrup reaches soft ball stage (115°C) about 10-15mins. Remember to brush down the sides of the saucepan with a clean, wet pastry brush to remove the sugar crystals.
Start whisking the eggwhites with the cream of tartar in mixer until soft peaks form.
Meanwhile, bring the sugar syrup to 121°C (hard ball stage). With the mixer running gradually pour the hot syrup into the meringue. (This is why we recommend an electric mixer as it is hard to do this while holding a hand mixer!) Beat until cooled to room temperature and meringue is thick and glossy (15-20 mins).
Because the hot sugar syrup has cooked the eggwhites there is no need to cook this meringue further. The meringue is a great consistency for piping onto desserts of your choice. Use a brulee torch to add a touch of caramelisation to the surface for presentation or leave it lovely and white.
Did you know?? The cream of tartar helps develop the white pigment in the egg and stops the egg over coagulating (getting tough)!
