A retro Christmas tree decoration and the saviour of leftover egg whites. Meringue rings aren't actually baked, but dried: at low heat, the water in the egg whites slowly evaporates while the sugar structure solidifies. The warmth of cinnamon makes this crunchy sweet truly festive.

⚠️ Eggs

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 100°C. Place baking parchment on the baking tray. Important: your mixing bowl must be spotless and grease-free!

Tip: Even the smallest amount of fat prevents the egg white foam from forming.
2 ✓

Start beating the whites with salt and vinegar on medium speed until you get soft peaks.

Tip: Acid (vinegar/lemon) stabilises the protein structure, making the meringue firmer.
3 ✓

Turn up to high speed and add the icing sugar spoonful by spoonful. Beat for 10-20 seconds after each spoon.

Tip: The sugar needs to dissolve in the foam. If you rub it between your fingers and don't feel grains, it's good.
4 ✓

When the foam is glossy and holds stiff peaks on the whisk, sift in the cinnamon and gently fold in with a spatula.

Tip: Do not beat further with the machine to avoid breaking the bubbles.
5 ✓

Fill into a piping bag and pipe rings onto the baking tray.

Tip: Leave a little space between them.
6 ✓

Place in the oven for approx. 90-100 minutes. When done, they separate easily from the paper. Let cool in the oven with the door ajar.

Tip: This is drying. If they start browning, lower the heat to 80-90 degrees.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the meringue collapse?
Either a tiny bit of yolk/fat got in, or you added the sugar too quickly.
Why is the centre sticky after baking?
It didn't dry out enough. Leave it to cool in the switched-off oven.
