I made merengue / myLot

Merengue - It's sweet and made from egg white. It should be crunchy after baking it but mine was not.

Tonight I made some merengue because there were left over egg whites. It's my second time to make this but as always it's not perfect. After I baked it, It was soft and not crunchy. Do you have any secret on how to make it crisps. I only got the recipe online. I really don't have a talent in baking.

Hello there angelbelle578! I like to cook that one too. Are egg whites the only ingredients needed? Can you share it to me please. I don't find some online cooking how-tos and recipes to be easy to follow sometimes. Yesterday, we were just talking about this one. I mean the merengue. That one is a really sweet dessert and snack.

There are lots of recipe online. Egg white, sugar, cream of tartar and some corn starch. My recipe was not good. Maybe you search in youtube maybe you can find some recipe there.

If you have 1 glass of egg whites so it should be twice as much of sugar. First bit white stiff and after that slowly add sugar. Bake in max temperature of 130 degree C not higher for about 45 min to 60 minutes till it will be dry.

You can add a little corn starch to the recipe (about 1 tbsp per 4 egg white). Only make it on a dry day (low humidity) and leave the merengues in a turned off oven to cool off. These three things should help make them crisp.

I see, It's actually raining these days when I make it. What about 1 egg yolk. I want to try just some so it wont go to waste. Thanks for the tips
