4large egg whites at room temperature, approximately 110g
½teaspooncream of tartar
200gcaster sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 120°C fan/140°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Ensure that the Thermomix bowl and Butterfly whisk are spotlessly clean and dry. I like to rub a lemon wedge around the bowl first to get rid of any grease, then wipe it off with a kitchen towel.
Add the egg whites and cream of tartar to the mixing bowl and insert the butterfly attachment. Whisk for 3 mins/37℃/speed 3.5 with the measuring cup off until stiff peaks form. (if you turn the bowl upside down the mixture won't come out!!)
Set the Thermomix to 4 min/37℃/speed 3 and slowly add the caster sugar 1 tablespoon at a time through the mixing bowl lid until stiff and glossy. (this will take less than 4 minutes but keep the Thermomix running for the full time).
Place individual dessert spoons of the mixture onto the baking tray and swirl the mixture around with the back of a spoon, making a pretty pattern.
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour until firm and crisp. Turn the oven off and leave to cool in the oven for another hour.
