I'm more of a Christian that I thought for while I had the makings of the meringues since Saturday I wasn't going to make them on Sunday because there were in no way needed.
Anywoo's, I got up early today and separated there eggs, and on the 3rd egg the yolk broke into the whites. Now I'd read someplace ages ago that whites won't whip if there's any yolk in at all. So I reached in and removed the yolk into the bowl with the rest of them.
So, for the next three I did them in my fingers, and viola, perfect. Six yolks in one and three whites in another. The whites I whipped, and once nicely aerated I added caster sugar, about 200g of it, spoonful at a time. And once done I poured it onto a foil lined baking dish. I decided to forego the notion of little nests as being just too too girly, nod to SoCal, and went for the one big cake thing.
It cooked for 40 mins at about 150*C, turning it at about 30mins in.
It's come out as a lightweight toffee that transforms in the mouth. It's actually quite good. And for first effort too.
Next time I won't whip it so much.
The yolks I whipped while slowly drizzling olive oil into it, then I put a bit of vinegar. Once nicely thickened I put some salt and newly cracked pepper.
All in all a good morning.
