I saw a fab product in the supermarket the other day and just couldn’t wait to try it out! Two Chicks Egg White. It’s free range liquid egg white in a carton! The sheer excitement at not having to separate egg whites to make meringue filled me with baking bliss! So, I got to work!
Preheat your oven to 80°C. Put the egg whites in a metal bowl and whisk on a gentle speed, slowly getting faster until the whites start to stiffen.
Once they have stiffened, add caster sugar slowly until the whites become glossy.
Next, add in the vanilla extract and icing sugar.
Fold in gently with a spatula.
Separate the mixture into three bowls and colour accordingly! I’ve gone for vintage pastel shades.
Pipe stars onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. I’ve used a JEM 1M piping nozzle. For round ones use a plain round nozzle (1J).
Don’t they look gorgeous! Pop them in the oven for 1-2 hours, or until they peel off the greaseproof paper cleanly.
I think these are fantastic and the two chicks egg white made it SO easy!! No mess, no fuss, cheaper than wasting egg yolks/having to make a mountain of custard to use them up, free range, fat free, and they taste super! I am SUCH a convert and if you use egg whites in your baking, you should really give these a go! Found in the refrigerated dairy section of your local supermarket! Check out their fab website here.
