Gluten Free Meringue – Bezedes

Yields1 ServingPrep Time20 minsCook Time1 hr 20 minsTotal Time1 hr 40 mins

The Greek “bezedes” are sweets made from baked meringue, and that is why the name “meringues” has prevailed from the French cuisine...

 4 egg whites
 220 g gluten-free icing sugar
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 1 tsp gluten-free cornflour
 1 tsp gluten-free white vinegar
1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.

2

Beat the egg whites in the mixer until the mixture looks like a fluffy cloud and stands up in stiff peaks when the whisks are lifted.

3

Then add the sugar one tablespoon at the time and vanilla while continue beating.

4

Finally add the vinegar and the starch while continue beating.

5

In a baking tray, spread a piece of parchment paper and with a spoon or a pipping bag, form balls of meringue. Because I find it hard to wash the pipping bag, I usually make them with a spoon, or with a plastic food bag that I make like a pipping bag and after use I throw it away.

6

Lower the oven to 75°C/170°F and bake the meringues for about 80 minutes.

7

Let them cool well before making another dessert.
