French and Italian desserts have always been particularly popular. I especially liked the cream of meringue, whose recipe varies in different countries. The fact is that the French beat egg white with cold, adding sugar, while the Italians add hot syrup to it. This consistency is perfect for making a variety of cakes, cookies or pies. The main feature of the meringue is that, despite its strong form, a delicate and melting cream remains in the mouth.
Meringue: recipe
Take 3 egg whites and add 3 tablespoons of water to them, pouring a glass of sugar. Put a bowl of proteins in a water bath and constantly beat with a mixer, starting at the slowest speed for about 3 minutes, after the same amount at high. The mixture should increase slightly, whiten and become a little harder and denser. Remove the bowl from the bath and continue whisking for another 5 minutes until you see an airy meringue. The recipe for its preparation allows you to get an airy and plastic dessert, which can be stored in the refrigerator for several hours. This cream perfectly complements a wide variety of desserts. Using it, you can make an excellent pie and delicate cookies.
