• Step 1

  Beat the egg whites until stiff. It's not so hard if you follow these simple rules:
  - Your eggs HAVE TO be at room temperature, if they was in the fridge, you can put them on the microwave for 10 or 20 seconds.
  - Begin slow and increase the speed step by step.
  - You can add some salt or lemon juice, it can help. I don't.

• 

  Step 2

  When your eggs are solid, you can add the suggar. They become firmer. Continue to beat them for a few time. Now, your base is ready!

  If your eggs aren't really firm, dont worry, meringues will be uggly but good!

• 

  Step 3

  You can bake your meringues on grease-proof paper or on a silicone sheet. I used to use aluminium foil but it is not really useful.
  Then, I use a pastry bag to give my meringues a nice form but you can just put some base with a spoon.

  You can do all flat motives that you want, but in volume, meringues always looks like little poo (sorry for that..)

• Step 4

  Bake them to the lowest temperature you can. Meringues have to dry, not litterally bake. Let them in the hoven for an hour at least. More if they need!

  - If you worry, you can try to bake them for an half-hour at time.
  - They are ready when they are crusty, touch them, if there is a mark, they aren't enough bake.

  Step 5

  Let them cool in a dry room and keep them in a metal or hermetic box. If the humidity is too high, they will become flabby!

• 

  Step 6

  Enjoy them! it's a really simple way to use egg whites and to decorate everything!
  If you have to figure sand or dust or snow, you can crumble them.
