From midgelet 14 years agoIngredients
- 12 eggs shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/4 cup orange juice shopping list
- 1 3/4 cups white sugar shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Grease 2 baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, salt, orange juice and sugar.
- Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it is extremely thick.
- If you have a whisk attachment, it will work well for this.
- To test if the mixture is ready, shake the bowl.
- If the meringue barely moves, or doesn't move at all, it is ready.
- If not, keep on mixing.
- Spoon evenly sized mounds of the meringue, about 1 tablespoon, onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are light brown all the way around.
- Handle them very gently, they are delicate.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet.
