Egg white meringue
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I've remembered the taste of boiled meringue since childhood. Yes, boiled meringue and "Buratino" soda—that was all we needed for happiness :) As a child, I thought making boiled meringue was a very complicated process, but now I'm convinced otherwise. I hope my simple boiled meringue recipe will convince you too. The meringue turns out no worse than that made by professional confectioners—they essentially prepare it the same way. Good luck with your cooking! Serve chilled.

Step 5
Transfer the resulting mixture into a special pastry bag (if unavailable, you can use a regular plastic bag with a small hole). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and squeeze the meringue onto it in freeform shapes. Place in an oven preheated to 110 degrees and bake for about 1 hour. Remove the finished meringues from the oven, let them stand for 10 minutes—and they're ready!
