Ingredients

2 large eggs whites
115g white caster sugar
Food colouring paste

Method

Heat oven to 120C fan/gas mark ½ .
Line 2 large baking sheets with baking parchment and prepare your piping bag. You will need a disposable piping bag. Using a wet paintbrush, paint lines of food colouring along the inside of the piping bag. (Wash the brush well between each colour so they don’t mix.)
Place the egg whites into a large mixing bowl (making sure it’s grease free before you start.) Whisk the eggs with an electric mixer, until they hold soft peaks. Then add the sugar 1 tbsp at a time, whisking continuously, until you have a thick and glossy meringue, which will hold up in a stiff peak on the end of the whisk.
Fill the colour striped bag with the meringue, and pipe small circles of about 2cm x 2cm.
Continue until all the mixture in the bag is used up, leaving enough room for the meringues to spread a little, then bake for 1 hour.
