for 5 minutes in the main bowl fitted with the whisk, remembering

gradually add the two sugars via the feed tube or
opening. Continue whisking for 1 minute. the whites should be firm.

Line a baking tray
with baking parchment and pipe* or spoon small circles of meringue
(about 8cm across) onto it.

(60 °C) for 2½ hours.

in the fridge for 1 hour beforehand.

into the bowl equipped with the whisk.

Chef’s tips:
You can use other sorts of fruit (peaches, apples, grapes, etc.). A raspberry
coulis (recipe p.116) makes an especially delicious addition.
