Meringue
Ingredients:
• 1 Egg white
• Salt
• 45 g Sugar
Preparation:
➩ Place the cooled egg white into a fat-free mixing
bowl. It may not contain any egg yolk, other-
wise the meringue will not be firm.
➩ Beat the egg white at a slow speed, so that the
bubbles formed in the meringue are not too large.
➩ Add a pich of salt to taste.
➩ Gradually add in a half of the sugar when the
meringue starts to firm up.
➩ Then beat it at the highest speed until stiff.
➩ Add the remaining sugar. With this the meringue
attains the required solidity.
➩ Fill the meringue mixture into a squeezing bag
with large star nozzles and, with a little space
between them, shape rosettes, tongues and
other designs on the backing tray, this being
first covered with baking paper.
➩ Pre-heat the Oven with Grill to ca. 100° C
with air circulation.
➩ Bake the meringues with air circulation at ca.
100° C for about 2 hours.
Buttered croutons
Ingredients:
• 2 slices of toast bread
• 1 tbsp. Butter
Preparation:
➩ Cut the toast bread into small cubes.
➩ Melt the butter over low heat in a saucepan
and mix in the cubed toast bread.
➩ Cover a baking tray

with baking paper and
spread the toast bread cubes evenly on it.
➩ Bake the toast bread cubes at 150°C (con-
vection) on the middle rail until golden brown
(approx. 15 - 20 minutes).
