Which sugar do I use to make icing sugar? You can use either granulated or caster sugar. The coarser the sugar you use, the more evenly your icing sugar will blend. For meringues we would always recommend using caster or superfine sugar.

You can make your own caster sugar by grinding granulated sugar slightly in a food processor or blender or a very clean coffee grinder.

Caster Sugar Substitute Granulated sugar will usually work just fine as a caster sugar alternative. Substitute on a ratio if your recipe calls for a cup of caster sugar, use a cup of granulated sugar. The only difference between caster sugar and granulated sugar is their texture. Plastic bowls can retain a film of grease. Always begin by separating the eggs. Let the whites stand at room temperature while you prepare the baking pan, equipment and other ingredients. Cream of tartar: The air beaten into egg whites can be lost quite easily.

A small amount of acidic ingredient, such as cream of tartar, acts as a stabilizing agent. A bit of lemon juice or vinegar will also work. Add sugar gradually. For optimum volume and smoothest texture, sugar should be added gradually, beginning only after the whites have been beaten to the foamy stage about double in volume.

Adding some or all of the sugar before beginning to beat will result in less volume. To check if sugar is dissolved: After each addition, whites should be beaten until the sugar has dissolved before adding more. To test, rub a bit of meringue between thumb and forefinger. If sugar is dissolved, it will feel completely smooth. If it feels grainy or sandy, continue beating. Undissolved sugar can cause sugar spots on the hard meringue surface. Hard meringue should be beaten until it appears glossy and stands in tall peaks that do not curl at the tips when the beater or whisk is lifted.

Have a great weekend! The photos are stunning and meringues are delicious! I would love to eat them right now:. Gorgeous meringues, love the bling on them! Looking forward to seeing more flavours. In the directions you stated add both sugars? What did you mean only one sugar was listed.

You said add the two sugars, but I see only granulated sugar listed. Did I miss something? Do you really store these in the fridge? How long do you beat them after the sugar addition? Mine seemed really runny for a long while. How big do you make them? Wrong size and cooking time will be off.

How to store them? How long will they last?
