  6. At the end, increase the speed and beat the meringue for 1 minute. The resulting meringue is smooth and shiny, perfectly holds its shape and peaks. I want to draw your attention to the fact that meringue can not only be under-whipped, but also re-whipped! In this case, it is dry in appearance, does not Shine and it forms flaking lumps!

  8. ... put the meringue on a baking sheet covered with baking paper (glue the paper to the baking sheet with a small amount of meringue, so that it is convenient to work). You can drop off the meringue with a spoon. Bake at 85* C for about three hours. I open the oven door a little more with a wad of foil. The baking time depends on the size of the meringue. Focus on your oven!

  9. Well-baked meringue easily lags behind the paper, dry and "rings" when tapping on the bottom. From this meringue, you can bake cakes for cakes, decorations for cakes and pastries. It is easy to work with and everyone gets it! P.S. for lovers of soft core-bake for 20-30 minutes less than 3 hours.
