food friday~ Stripy cream filled meringues

hey guys!


its friday so guess what that means?....
im gonna teach you how to make something... that something is stripy cream filled meringues.
yeah you probably guessed from the title. i thought i should start with an easy recipe.

These stripy cream filled meringues are great for a get-together with friends and they are easy to keep fresh so you can make them days beforehand and avoid any last minute kitchen disasters on the day of your coffee morning.



im not sure if you have these in america but if 
you dont know what a meringue is im gonna tell you...
basically they are a sweet food made from a mixture 
of egg whites and sugar baked until crisp. simple as that. 





>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> i cant have these as im allergic to egg <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
anyway.....

• PREP:20 MINS
• BAKE:1 HOUR 30 MINS
• SERVES:20
• SKILL LEVEL:EASY

Ingredients

• 3Egg white(s) (free range) large
• 175gUnrefined golden caster sugar (we use Billington's)Unrefined golden caster sugar
• Pink food colouring
• 300mlDouble cream lightly whipped

 

HOW TO MAKE THEM!!

STEP 1

pre-heat oven to 120degrees Celsius (gas mark 1). line two baking trays with baking paper

STEP 2

wish egg whites until stiff then, add the sugar a spoonful at the time, until the mixture is glossy.

STEP 3

use a small paintbrush to paint three vertical stripes of food colouring inside a large piping bag fitted with a 1cm round tip. next, fill the bag up with meringue mix, and pipe 5cm circular shapes onto the baking sheets. make sure you use less pressure to swirl the tip of in a circular motion.

STEP 4

bake in the oven about 1 - 1 and a half hours, or until they are a light creamy colour and can be easily removed from the baking paper. turn the oven off and leave them to cool with the door slightly ajar, preferably over night.

STEP 5

serve with the meringues sandwiched with light whipped cream or, on their own with raspberry coulis 

!!!!thats it!!!!
