Meringues

You can’t beat these meringues that melt in your mouth. Sandwiched with whipped cream, it’s a match made in heaven.

Preheat oven to 120°C. Line two trays with baking paper.
Place the egg whites, sugar, vanilla essence and vinegar in a bowl and beat until white and glossy. Add the boiling water slowly, while beating.
Drop spoonfuls onto the baking paper and use the back of the spoon to shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. When finished cooking, turn oven off and leave meringues in there for a few hours or overnight to continue drying out in the centre.
Serve with whipped cream and fruit salad, or sandwich two together with whipped cream.
