An ingenious and wonderful confectionery invention - meringue on a stick. This is another confirmation of the famous saying that everything new is well forgotten old. They put the good old meringue on a stick, and it turned out to be a fashionable sweet delicacy, which is especially loved by children. In addition, the delicacy is very easy to prepare, its cost is low, and it is very easy for the stomach to assimilate. These sweet little things are a lifesaver for modern pastry chefs. Despite the fact that they are prepared quite simply, but like any culinary process, the recipe has its own nuances, which we will talk about below.
Usually sugar is used for the recipe. But it may not completely dissolve when whipping proteins, if the mixer is low-powered. Then, tiny grains will be visible in the finished dough, which will negatively affect the surface of the baked meringues. Therefore, instead of sugar, use powdered sugar, which you buy in the store or prepare yourself: by grinding the sugar in a coffee grinder.
In industrial production, the amount of sugar is usually used twice as much as protein. But homemade sugar can be varied to your liking. If you don't like very sweet desserts, then cut it in half.

Step by step cooking meringue on a stick, recipe with photo:
1. Wash and dry the eggs with a paper towel. Use a knife to gently break the shell and separate the whites from the yolks. You don't need yolks for the recipe, so cover them with cling film and refrigerate. The whites should be placed in a clean and dry container without a drop of fat or yolks. Otherwise, they will not beat up to the desired correct consistency. Also, keep the squirrels cold.
2. Begin to beat the egg whites with a mixer at a slow speed.
3. When the proteins turn into a light white foam, add sugar gradually, without stopping to beat them.
4. Increase the speed of the appliance to the maximum setting and continue beating the whites with sugar until a stable white foam and complete dissolution of the sugar grains. Check their readiness as follows: turn the plate of squirrels over, they should be motionless and not fall out of it.
5. Place the egg whites on a parchment-lined baking sheet using a piping bag or syringe, forming small cakes. If there are no such devices, then spread the mass with a tablespoon.
6. Place a thin wooden stick / skewer in each cake. Send the dessert to a preheated oven at 100 degrees. Dry the meringue on a stick for 1.5 hours. When the drying time comes to an end, do not rush to pull it out. Leave the dessert in the oven until it cools completely. So the products will not crack and easily separate from the parchment.
