Pandan Meringue Drop

Meringue is always my favourite cookie, I always wonder how that delicious cookie made, I was searching a recipe for cake and found this accidentaly, I gave my self a try and..VOILA...it didnt fail!!! YAY!!


Pandan Meringue Drops
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt

Method:

In a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water whisk together frosting ingredients until mixture is warm and sugar is dissolved. With a portable electric mixer on high beat frosting 6 to 7 minutes, or until thick and fluffy. Remove bowl from heat and beat frosting until cooled slightly (I let it cool completely)

Transfer meringue to a pastry bag fitted with tip (I usea 1/2-inch star tip) , then dab some meringue under corners of parchment on all baking sheets to secure to sheets. Pipe 1-inch-wide stars (1 inch high) about 1/2 inch apart.

Bake 300F about 25min (middle rack), turn the oven off and let meringue cool in the oven

Note :  For this meringue I didn’t use cream of tartar but I still like the result. Also some recipe said to bake in 200F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours and you have to switching position of upper and lower sheets halfway through baking, until dry, crisp, and firm. I found out that is really complicated so I’m thinking just to use this recipe and bake the way I did J
