How to make Meringues

1. Separate the yolks from the whites of the two eggs and pour the egg whites into a mixing bowl.
2. Begin whisking the whites really quickly using either a food mixer or electric hand whisk until nice and fluffy.
3. Slowly add the caster sugar whilst continuing to whisk.
4. Keep whisking until the egg and sugar mixture becomes thick and shiny and can form stiff peaks.
5. When you have a glossy meringue mixture, spoon out 6 meringue nests onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof or parchment paper.
6. Place in an oven preheated to 130c/270f for approx. 50 minutes. After the cooking time and once they begin to turn golden, remove from the oven, leave to cool and serve as part of your dessert.
