  • ¾ tsp Cream of tartar
  • 220 g Caster sugar (7.8oz)

Filling Options:

  • 10 tsp Nutella (warmed to allow easy spreading)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat fan-forced oven to 120°C/250°F and line 2 trays with baking paper.
  2. Whip Egg Whites: In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
  3. Add Sugar: Gradually add caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is thick and glossy.
