Recipe's preparation
Place sugar into mixing bowl and mill 10sec/speed 9. Set aside.
Insert Butterfly into clean and dry mixing bowl. Place egg whites, cream of tartar and lemon juice into mixing bowl and beat for 3-4mins/50C/speed 3.5 with MC removed until strong peaks form.
With blades rotating on speed 2, add sugar 1 tsp at a time over a period of 2-3 minutes.
Place the mixture into a piping bag with your favourite nozzle to create tears or stars and pipe shapes onto baking paper. Place in a pre-heated oven at 90C-100C. (So you are drying them out rather than baking). Insert a wooden spoon into the oven door or keep it slightly ajar so the moisture escapes and the meringues dry out better. It can take 2 to 5 hours depending on the size of the meringues.
Keep in a well-closed biscuit jar. They will last for up to a week.

This is my go to guide on how to make a meringue. If I'm following a recipe I'll use their quantities but follow this method. Having had 2 failures at the beginning of the meringue making journey I've worked out your bowl needs to be super clean and dry. If required I've used a hairdryer. Also do not add sugar unless there is definite strong peaks, adding the sugar won't save the day. It just means wasted sugar! Hope this helps

It seems the Thermomix cannot do everything. I did get meringues but they had a weird taste I guess because of the lemon juice, and they went flat and did not maintain their shape, clearly some things are better made in the trusty old Kenwood Mixer.
Fantastic

First batch was a disaster - but, that was thanks to an unclean blade (choc fudge underneath that hadn't been cleaned off properly).
Second batch perfect. I always find with these recipes it takes me much longer to get the sugar mixed in, but still worked a treat. I do need to work on my piping technique, but that's nothing to do with this recipe!
Dec 2020 update
Just tried another two batches and the egg whites wont whip up. What a waste.
In to the bin with this recipe and back to the hand beater i reckon. This recipe/method is jus too unreliable. Ive had no trouble with swiss meringue from the thermie books.

I did a double batch following recipe. Then I did a double with half the sugar and 1tsp stevia leaf powder.
Both lovely but I prefer the second one.

Domestic.Goddess: Hi. After I added the sugar I lost my peaks so I just beated the mixture for another couple of minutes. If you keep an eye on them and just keep beating until the mixture becomes a big stiffer. NICOLE

These were my first attempt at meringues and they were perfect. I accidentally forgot to heat to 50* so ended up beating for another 4 mins. I put some pink in with the sugar and piped with a snap lock bag.
So happy with the result, thanks for a great recipe 👍😀

They were too liquidy for my piping bag so turned out more like cookies but still, very delicious. I added half a cup lightly toasted ground hazelnuts and then for the second cookie sheet added some more leftover ground hazelnuts and they all turned out very tasty, only about an hour in the oven since they were thin and I propped it slightly ajar with a wooden spoon as suggested. I hate to waste egg whites when I use a recipe that only needs the yolks so this turned out to be a great recipe that I will keep. Next time I will whip the egg whites for a longer period of time at a higher speed to get the batter to be stiffer. Thanks for posting!

Just made these, making coloured ones for a cake for Mother's Day. So easy!

So easy to make they are currently in the oven...

Such an easy recipe with an amazing result.
I mixed it up a bit and on the last few spins added a few drops of coconut essence and two drops of food colouring just to give them a bit of difference to the normal meringues!
Will definately use this recipe again. Even turned out amazing with peaks even though my egg whites came straight from the fridge. (Normally have them at room temp for meringues)
Too sticky I followed
Too sticky
I followed instructions religiously but it wasn't stiff enough for piping. Only needed small meringues for the top of mini lemon meringue pies. I salvaged about 60%. The actual flavour was nice but I don't think I'll bother with this recipe again, back to the old way.
I'm in love, I got
I'm in love, I got sidetracked and put all the ingredients including the sugar in at once so I just continued to follow the rest of the method and they turned out amazing

Worked out really well! I
Worked out really well! I performed the "Spring clean" with water and vinegar as per Dani Valent's pavlova tutorial (you can google it, or I think it's similar to the clean that you do when you first take delivery of your machine). I also separate the eggs one at a time into a glass to check that the yolk hasn't broken before I add it to the bowl with the rest of the egg whites...it wont work with any yolk at all, and you don't want to lose the whole batch if the last egg in breaks...
Failed 3/3 Eggs whip fine,
Failed 3/3
Eggs whip fine, form firm peaks but it doesn't go well when adding sugar, which I do slowly. Bowl is clean and dry. The mixture isn't stiff and fluffy. When in oven the pav leaks liquid every time and sinks. Help!
Easy recipe - fab
Easy recipe - fab results!
ive just made these, and they've turned out beautifully.
I have just used this recipe
I have just used this recipe and added some dessicated coconut to it for an experiment for a bake-off we are having at work. I was pretty nervous as I haven't tried making meringues since I tried making a pavlova years ago that was a total flop! These turned out amazingly! They are baking now so if they turn out well with the coconut I will post the recipe for my experimental Margarita Tarts!

Was trying to work out what to do with the egg whites I had left over after making a batch of hollandaise sauce.
I was a bit worried about attempting these as i have never had much success in the past.
This was my first attempt at Meringue in the TMX and they turned out great!
Will be making these again for sure. Thank you
Hi margarose, Sorry to hear
Hi margarose,
Sorry to hear about your two failed attempts. When whipping meringues, it is important that the mixing bowl in thoroughly clean and dry before you begin whipping the egg whites.

I have just made these - so
I have just made these - so far so good! My first go at doing them in the thermie! They're in the oven as we speak
. I'm really pleased with how they have turned out so far! I love the twist of lemon (or lime for me, as that's what I had). I also doubled the recipe no problems. I don't think it was as fluffy as it probably should have been but it is still fluffy enough for me to make little nests. With the bowl - I milled the sugar and then wiped it out with a tea towel to remove as much sugar as possible. This eliminated any chance of moisture. I wasn't sure in step three about leaving the butterfly in or not! I did, but I wasn't sure if I should have removed it. Thank you so much for making my first attempt a successful one!!

Just made these, my very first attempt at making meringue in my TM (and I've had my machine for 5 years) they worked really well. I cooked mine for 1.25 hours at 120oC fan forced and left them in the oven for another 2 hours with the oven off. Perfect. A great gluten, dairy and nut free vegetarian treat.
Have you made sure the bowl
Have you made sure the bowl was clean and dry before whisking egg whites? Also, if you accidentally get egg yolk in the mix it won't go fluffy.

Made these last night to use
Made these last night to use up left over egg whites. Did everything in recipe but used 4 egg whites. They turned out great and I liked that it wasn't too sweet. After an hour & half of baking at 100 degrees, the last half hour I turned the oven down to 60 degrees. Make sure you put tray in middle of oven for even baking.
