Instructions
1
Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 150°C (th. 4). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Whip egg whites
Place egg whites in a bowl and whip with an electric mixer. Add 1 tbsp fine sugar, whip for 15 seconds to combine. Add another 1 tbsp sugar and whip again. Repeat until all sugar is added.
3
Prepare piping bag
Place powdered sugar in a bowl, add a few drops of water and mix into a paste. Fill the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a standard large piping tip (if using a plastic bag, push the mixture to one corner, cut a small opening to draw 2 cm wide lines).
4
Shape
Pipe 3 cm long meringue spirals onto the baking sheet.
5
Bake
Bake for 1 hour until the meringues are dry and crisp. Carefully peel the meringues off the parchment paper and transfer to a cooling rack to cool.
6
Decorate
Use a fine pastry brush to dab a small amount of sugar paste on the meringue surface, then sprinkle with multicolored sugar sprinkles.
