A great use for leftover egg whites! Try piping the meringue into basket shapes - they make great mini pavlovas for summer barbecues.

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 on medium speed with an electric hand whisk for 3 minutes. Turn the speed up and start to add the Chelsea Caster Sugar, a tablespoonful at a time. Continue beating for 3-4 seconds between each addition. It's important to add the sugar slowly as it helps prevent the meringue from weeping later. When ready, the mixture should be thick and glossy.

Sift a third of the Chelsea 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. Don't over-mix. The mixture should now look smooth and billowy, almost like a snow drift.

Spoon or pipe mixture onto prepared trays (approx. one dessert spoonful per meringue). Bake for 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 hours until the meringues sound crisp when tapped underneath.

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