Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large free-range egg whites (room temperature)
- 320g (1 ½ cups) caster sugar
- 2 tsp corn flour
- 2–3 tsp rose water
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- A few drops of red or pink gel food coloring
- Chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Prepare equipment: Ensure the bowl and whisk are spotlessly clean. Reclean with soapy hot water and thoroughly dry.
- Make meringue: Whisk egg whites using a stand mixer on medium-high until stiff. Slowly add caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking. Continue whisking for 8-10 minutes until glossy and all sugar has dissolved.
- Add other ingredients: Sift over corn starch, add rose water, and vinegar. Mix briefly until incorporated.
- Add color: Remove bowl from mixer and scrape down whisk. Add gel food coloring and fold through to create swirls.
- Pipe meringues: Drop 6 mounds of meringue mixture onto the lined baking tray, ensuring plenty of space between as they will expand.
- Bake and dry: Put in the oven, then immediately turn the oven down to 120°C (250°F). Bake for 40 minutes (do not open the door). Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely and dry out (this will take 2-3 hours).
Notes
- Ensure no egg yolk gets into the egg whites as this can prevent them from whisking properly.
- For a more intense rose flavor, adjust the amount of rose water to your preference.
