Weathering the summer with Eton Mess
by
Eton Mess is the most classic of British desserts, and although you can count on it to be delicious (what’s not to love about meringue, berries and cream?), you can’t always count on the weather… Food writer and blogger Miriam has come up six variations on Eton Mess to suit every possible weather forecast.
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 140°C and line a baking tray with a piece of greaseproof paper
2
Whisk up your egg whites until they form stiff peaks
3
Add the sugar gradually, a spoonful at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. The mixture should look thick and shiny
4
Put heaped dessert spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray and bake for 30-40 minutes
5
Remove from the oven and leave to cool if you are making the dessert that day or, if you have time; leave in the oven (switched off) to cool in there overnight
