The most basic recipe for making meringues

Ingredients

• 250 grams powdered sugar
• 4 eggs (preferred fresh and at room temperature)
• 1 lemon

Instructions

1. Cut the lemon and use it to coat the mixing bowl (this will prevent any grease from ruining your meringue)
2. Separate the egg white from the yolk. We don't need the yolk because it's a form of grease.
3. Add the powdered sugar a bit at a time, ensuring it's mixed in before adding more.
4. Mix it all together until it's smooth and firm.
5. Now you can choose if you want a whole meringue plate. If yes, just pour it on the baking tray (use baking paper), or use a piping bag to make smaller meringues.
6. Bake your meringues for 90 minutes on 90 degrees Celsius (194 degrees Fahrenheit) and keep a small gap between the door of the oven (to make sure the moisture can escape).
7. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down.
8. If you've made a sheet of meringue, chop it into pieces and tuck in.
