Meringue
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Meringue is an excellent decoration for any kind of baked goods, especially desserts and cakes. In addition, meringue can also be served as a standalone dish, decorated with chocolate or maple syrup. I recommend using spoons to place the meringue onto the baking sheet, as the egg whites settle significantly when using a piping bag. This meringue turns out very light and tender, despite the total beating time not exceeding six minutes. The ready dessert can be served.
