1 tsp cornflour<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp white vinegar<\/span><\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Use an electric mixer to whisk the egg white to form soft peaks.\u00a0 <\/span>Gradually sprinkle the sugar over the egg whites as you continue to beat. The whites should become stiff and glossy. Beat for another minute or two after the sugar has all been combined.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Sift the cornflour over the top and add the vinegar, fold through carefully.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Line a baking tray with baking paper and dollop the mixture into 4-5 separate balls.\u00a0 <\/span>The shape doesn\u2019t really matter as they\u2019ll be smashed in the end anyway. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Reduce the heat of the oven to 120 degrees and cook the meringues for 35 minutes.\u00a0 <\/span>Turn the oven off but do not open the door.\u00a0 <\/span>Leave the meringues to cool in the oven for at least 30-40 minutes.\u00a0 <\/span>You can make the meringues in advance of when you plan on using them. Just make sure they are stored in an airtight container. <\/span><\/li>\n
  6. When cooled and ready to serve, break up the meringues and serve with the pomegranate seeds and crushed hazelnuts and whipped cream.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
