Easy Vanilla Meringues - enjoy them any way you like !Easy to make, fat free (but please note - not calorie free !) these meringues are simple yet delicious. Serve them with fresh or tinned fruit, cream, ice cream or 'Homemade Raspberry Sauce' – or simply eat them on their own with a nice cuppa tea ;)

Easy Vanilla Meringues
2 cups white Sugar (we mostly get brown sugar here, so I use brown)
4 tbsp hot Water
4 Egg Whites
2 tsps Vinegar (I use white grape vinegar)
1 – ½ tsps Vanilla Extract
2 tsp Baking Powder
Place all the ingredients, except for the baking powder, into a large bowl & beat with an electric mixer for around 10 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks form (don’t worry if your mixture looks sloppy for quite a while as you beat it – it will suddenly thicken up). Then, fold in the baking powder. Place teaspoons full onto a lightly greased baking sheet and bake at Gas mark 3/160'C/325'F for +- 40 minutes until done. Makes around 40 meringues.
