Step 3
Transfer the egg white mixture into a piping bag and pipe meringue onto parchment paper. You will need 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone mats. Bake for 2-3 hours at 80°C. This is less baking and more drying. The finished meringue should lift off the baking sheet easily, leaving no residue.
