Swiss meringues
Swiss meringues
Swiss meringues are a variant of the classic French meringue. The eggs whites and sugar are beaten together in a bain-marie at first, then beaten stiff as normal. This makes for a firmer meringue which can be used to make small items or figures to decorate cakes or ice creams (such as mushrooms, snowmen, etc.).

  • LOVE this recipe, jh. I've been using oat flour when ever I can include it these days. I enjoy the flavor it imparts especially in baked goods. Although, I have added it to bread crumbs too. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
