How To Make Perfect Meringue | Cupcake Jemma

[@rosem3978]

4 egg whites 250 grams caster sugar Cream of tartar or you can use a squeeze of lemon Pinch of salt 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Bake in the oven for 25 mins at 150º C / 300º F. Turn the oven off and leave it in the oven for 1 hour to slowly cook it

[@ednamode2334]

That is perfect thank you

[@livingforchristminnie80s85]

Thank you 😊

[@someone4585]

I thought the recipe comment got deleted and panicked thank you

[@hussamalahmed]

Thank youuuuu

[@alysummers3306]

If anyone is looking for the recipe she used, here it is: • 1 pinch of salt (or 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. You may also use 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice or 1/4 teaspoon vinegar - not as effective) • 4 egg whites (154 grams) • 250 grams of superfine sugar (or blend granulated sugar in a food processor for 30-60 seconds) • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - optional *Tip:* if you'd like to adjust the recipe, make sure the egg to sugar ratio is about 50 grams per 1 egg *Crispy on outside, soft on inside:* Bake in oven at 150°C (300°F) for 25mins, then turn off oven and leave in oven to cool for 1 hour. *Evenly cooked & crispy throughout:* Bake in oven for 100°C (200°F), then leave in oven to cool for 1 hour.

[@rp0749]

Ally Summers but didn't she say 250g of sugar?

[@rockhead5578]

Ally Summers : can i use stevia powder?

[@nicolouisa]

Thanks so much. How long do I bake the cooked and crispy throughout meringues? 25mins too?

[@Fiammix]

It's 200°F and 100°C, not the other way around :)

[@rockhead5578]

Fiamma Aleotti: can you please tell me how long do i preheat my gas oven, it does't have an indicater light for preheating.

[@randomnesslol6362]

Extra Tip: Since its acid, If you don't have cream of tartar, use a small squeeze of lemon juice, It does work, though!

[@ahmedali-pl7qy]

can we use baking soda

[@randomnesslol6362]

I'm not sure if baking soda has the right acid, but if it has a significant amount of acid, then it probably will. I don't recommend it though, it will probably spread out the meringues.

[@samwarren2850]

Super late to the convo, but baking soda is alkaline, not acidic, so you won't get the desired effect.

[@nothanks3013]

Alternatively just add vanilla extract

[@JAYWLEE]

bicarbonate soda is a BASE not an acid. There is a big possibility that it won't work

[@Sweetysalado]

Besides following these wonderful tips, just remember that it takes a bit of patience and practice. Many people get frustrated and either overwhip or don't whip enough and simply give up. Just be patient and practice, practice, practice following all of these tips.

[@noom09]

The first time I made meringues, it turned out wonderful. The second time I did it, I over whipped it, so it failed.

[@L_AAAA]

All my meringues started buring not even 10min in the oven. However my mix was perfect. Such a waste

[@theunitedkingdom]

4 egg whites 1/4 tsp cream of tar tar 250g caster sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract

[@theunitedkingdom]

In other recipes she also recommends a pinch (1/8 tsp) of sea salt.

Berries and cream, go for it

[@tanyam2488]

its 1/4 cup sugar to each egg. if 3 eggs use 1/4th-1/3rd tsp tartar. after sugar is added (should take 7-10 minutes whisking it in) put tsp vanilla/lemon/raspberry extract. if its still grainy you continue to whisk until smooth between fingers. if you want the texture the way shes making it; 300f for 25 minutes shut oven off and keep in for 35 more minutes. do not open door during entire time. then crack oven and let cool. if you want them hard the whole way through; 200f for 1.5-2 hours shut oven off and crack door to let cool for about an hour. if you do not have parchment paper use aluminium foil, do not use wax paper

[@benthepen6583]

I watch this video every time I make meringues, such a good demonstration. Thanks!

[@KingVikram]

This was explained really well. Usually even after following the recipe in baking videos my stuff doesn't turn out as it should. Because as Martha Stewart said baking is a science. This video tells us what to do and what not to. So it seems very well done.

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

I love the vinegar idea, I sometimes use vodka! That works really well too! I love the way your meringues look, so yummy!

Why? You can add all those after it cooks. You risk ruining the cooking time doing that.

[@akhildharmaratnam7554]

I am from India and i had this in one of the bakery here. i dint know what is it that time and i loved it. they had added cashews which gave crunchy texture. loved it. now i feel its easy to prepare too.

[@chefmike9945]

Jemma! Brilliant again. Lovely recipe. People MUST follow your tip for cleaning the equipment, it's really not an option. To respond to others. This is a recipe with many variations and degrees of doneness. From very light cookies to very crisp pastry application. Blessings ChefMike

Thank you very much for the perfect meringue recipe. I have baked meringue following your tips and it came out absolutely perfect and delicious.

Btw if you dont have Tartar cream you can use same amounts of lemon or vinegar! Then it makes lemon meringue!

[@iXCrasherXi]

I made half batch of these with 2 egg whites and used dark vinegar instead of red wine vinegar and they turned out great! I did 200 degrees for 60 minutes and then left them in there for a another hour to cool. I made about 6 cookies.

[@D1NonlyKoko]

I just made some meringues with little bits of crushed peanuts and a splash of vanilla extract, they turned out really yummy! I really love the idea of flavoring meringues and would like to experiment a bit, but I want to know what I can or can't add before trying things out so I don't ruin a perfectly good batch of meringue! Like for example, can I try adding coffee creamer to add some flavor? Or would it disrupt the mixture? And is it possible to add too much chopped nuts that it makes the egg mixture lose air?? What other flavor ideas do you guys suggest? All ideas are welcome! :)

[@moncza1866]

Made them, the second day they were even better (more chewy) Thanks! It tastes great with brown caster sugar

[@Shivani-dj9re]

I heard that you can use squeeze a bit of lemon into it as a substitute for cream of tartar... would that work just as well?

[@Atheenah]

It’s not easy too find caster/superfine sugar in bulk in the states. It’s sold in 12oz/340g containers which is never enough for more than one recipe. Can regular sugar be used and if so how does that scale? Can whirling granulated sugar through the food processor produce the same fine grind as caster sugar?

[@chiwym42]

wow looks so prettty, the merigue are crisp outside and chewy inside, yummy :} i ever tried to make it before but with different recipe, and i cant made it because the meringue so sticky on the paper when i finished baked it, what should i do?? :( anyway what the different between meringue and pavlova?

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

As for the acid, you can also simply use some lemon juice. Just keep in mind that it adds a bit of flavour. If you're making meringue that isn't going to be crispy, for something as lemon-meringue pie, then adding a bit of honey helps to hold the shape of the meringue longer.

[@ayunne6555]

Hi. I want to ask. Must i preheat my oven? Or should i just chuck in my meringues and then set the oven?

[@joycedavis3105]

I've been trying and trying to beat the egg whites stiff for my chocolate meringue cookies, but even doing all what I've just seen, it never works. The youtup looks fabulous...and I'll follow and just keep trying.

[@mk4u123]

hi Jemma! love your videos! how long can i leave meringue batter in a piping bag? and how long can i leave piped meringue out before baking? just because i don't have enough room for the whole batter to bake at once. another question is if i have a basic oven that has heat that comes only from the bottom, is baking good meringue even possible? thank you!!

[@dazidovliliana]

Thank you for the tips! The temperature and timing do not work for my oven.. they get kind of brownish-golden, but they are not cooked enough in the middle and on the bottom. Do you preheat the oven?

[@ChuumiChan]

@dazidovliliana Yes, you should preheat your oven

[@dazidovliliana]

[@meetrl4385]

I used two eggs, lemon juice instead of that tartar stuff because I have no idea what it is and 100gramm sugar. I got eight rather big ones and they are in the oven right now. they look so pretty! edit: okay, they are kinda marshmallowy in the middle but I think the temperature was too high, which indeed could just be my oven. they stuck to the paper and they are really fragile so yeah, next time lower temp and longer cooking time.

[@everlastinggie3460]

can you use any kind of sugar? maybe like organic sugar? and also, do you have to use cream of tartar?

[@ogj19]

does anyone know how long they can be stored for and what´s the best way to do so?...thanks !

If you don't have cream of tartar you can just leave it out or you can add just pinch of salt... you can cover and store these for several days at room temperature.

[@nightshadeavian4989]

Should I adjust the temperature in oven if I make the smaller size meringue in order to get that texture ?

[@lavendersky4608]

Can we use powdered sugar or normal sugar instead of caster sugar?

[@JamieOliver]

Definitely don't use powdered sugar, normal sugar will still work, but might give you slightly grainy meringues. Here's a little tip - if you blitz normal sugar in a blender, you'll reduce the grain size, and it'll become caster sugar. Caster sugar is also called superfine sugar.

Add a pinch of salt before whsking, it makes whisking faster by an order of magnitude. Not all that impressive if you have a stand mixer, but it’s a life saver when whisking by hand.

As Jamie says it's not 100% essential but what it actually does is prevent the egg whites splitting before adding the sugar. It does make it easier if you're a new baker but if you don't use it be super careful not to over whip the egg whites x
