How To Make red, white, & blue meringues

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Step 2
    Beat egg whites at a high speed using an electric mixer. Add 2/14 cup powdered sugar gradually. Continue to mix until stiff peaks form.
  • Step 3
    To add food coloring: Separate batter evenly into 3 separate bowls. Add 3 drops of blue dye to one of the bowls, and 3 drops of red dye to another bowl, leaving the third bowl plain white. Carefully fold the batter in each bowl to incorporate the color.
  • Step 4
    Put batter in a ziplock bag and cut a small hole in the lower corner (you may use a piping bag if you have that). Pipe batter onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 3 hours. Cool & serve.
