Ingredients
Units
- 4 egg whites at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
Instructions
- In a large pot, place 5cm or 2″ of water and bring to a boil for a Bain Marie. Once it starts boiling, lower the heat to the minimum.
- Put the egg whites, sugar, and vanilla (if used) in a metal bowl that fits over the pot to create a Bain Marie; the bowl CAN NOT touch the water. Using a wire beater, combine all ingredients.
- Place over Bain Marie and stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved, 3-5 minutes. To make sure that sugar has dissolved, rub some of the mixtures between your fingertips. If you can’t feel any sugar crystal, it’s ready.
- Remove from Bain Marie and start beating with the hand mixer at high speed until the meringue form and it is cold. About 10 minutes.
- Use a piping bag or a spatula to decorate the cake, cupcake, or traditional Chilean pastries.
