Meringues

According to the internet meringues take 15-18 minutes to bake.  Or maybe 45.  Or maybe 2 hours at 225 and another hour with the oven off and the door cracked open so they coast down.  But the differences don't matter too much, right?

I made meringues.  Piping was done with a plastic bag so shaping was hard.

I think meringues must have been a major luxury before electric mixers.  So much work to do by hand!  Fortunately for my arm, I mostly stood there and held a mixer while it turned egg whites into fluffy deliciousness.


6 egg whites = many meringues

Poof!
