Snowballs / Meringue Cookies
(Recipe from 180 Every Day Cakes & Bakes)
Makes about 20
Ingredients:
- 2 egg whites
- 115g/4 oz/1/2 cup caster sugar
- 15 ml/ 1 tbsp corn flour (cornstarch), sifted
- 5 ml/ 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- 1.5 ml/ ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat the oven to 150C/300F and line two baking sheets with baking parchment.
Whisk the egg whites in a grease-free bowl, using an electric whisk, until very stiff.
Add caster sugar, a little at a time, whisking after each addition until the meringue is very stiff and glossy. Whisk in the corn flour, vinegar and vanilla extract.
Using a teaspoon, mound the mixture into snowballs on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 30 minutes.
Cool on the baking sheets, and then remove the snowballs from the paper with a metal spatula.
Notes:
These meringues contain the magic ingredients that gave them a chewy centre than being crisp throughout. You can mix the cornflour, white wine vinegar and vanilla extract together in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the mixture before finally folding it in if you like.
