Ingredients

  • 8 pieces Egg, egg white, fresh

  • 200 g Sugar, white

  • 150 g Powdered sugar

  • 30 g Koruzni škrob

Steps

  1. In a bowl, place the egg whites and gradually add sugar (spoon by spoon) while slowly mixing. Beat until you get a stiff meringue. To check if the meringue is stiff enough, turn the bowl upside down; the mixture should not fall out.

  2. In a smaller bowl, mix powdered sugar and starch well, then carefully and slowly fold the mixture into the meringue using a spoon. Transfer the meringue into a piping bag with a star tip. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pipe small mounds of any shape onto it.

  3. Preheat the oven to 100°C. Place the baking tray with the meringue kisses in the middle of the oven and dry them at this temperature for 8 hours. The oven door should remain slightly open the entire time.

  4. Once dried, remove the meringue kisses from the tray, arrange them on a plate or platter, and serve.
