Meringues

After a few recipes which require you to use only the yolk, you'll advance to a variety of egg, but then I do?
The meringues are great for this purpose, but also to taste so good, or to use as decoration for other desserts. So here's the recipe for good meringues, with small steps to use the most of your oven, since this is the most difficult part of the preparation.

Ingredients:

2 egg whites at room temperature (at least keep them out for a few hours)
160 g of sugar (or flour veil)
1 bag of vanilla
a pinch of salt

Preparation:

In a bowl put the egg, a pinch of salt, vanilla and begin to mount a snow, with the whips to average speed. When the egg will begin to take the body, add the sugar slowly, little by little and always working with the hoses at high speed, until it formed a mass very dense and glossy.
Transfer the batter into a pastry bag (or in the absence of a pocket using a spoon) and begin to make meringues on a plate lined with baking paper antiaderente (smaller is faster drying). With these doses are preparing about 2 trays, which can be inserted either in the oven.

Now is the most sensitive meringues fact should not be cooked, but simply need to wipe from the egg, then the oven must not exceed 100 ° or you risk burning them and become a pale yellow or brownish. But the oven does not even have a temperature too low otherwise it will take an interminable time.
E 'on this occasion that I have learned to know my oven, I have dried with a 70/80 ° function ventilated, having slightly opened the door of the oven, perhaps inserting between oven door and a wooden ladle, so that out excess moisture.
Times vary greatly by day and the size of meringues, when I prepared myself, was cold and wet, in fact it took me almost 4 hours.

Leave to cool in the oven and put them directly into containers of glass or tin. Attention meringues are enemies of moisture, and leaving out of the oven just could immediately become sticky, with these simple meringues remain rather dry and crumbly for a long time.

Note: To obtain beautiful white meringues, add the egg a dash of lemon.

    ... The preparation of nell'aggingermi VERA daisy cake I consulted the internet and I found many recipes really different between them. I know that strictly in the original recipe, there's the butter and that the secret lies in cooking and the installation of the eggs ... it is a taste and a smell linked to childhood, the daisy cake prepared my neighbor. I played with her daughter every Saturday and I remember his yellow ... it's not that you can enlighten us?
    I greet you with affection
