• Servings: 8
• 100 g sugar
• 75 g icing sugar
• 3 egg whites
• 1 drop pink food coloring

• 3 add a dessertspoon of the sugars, one at a time, whisking until stiff again after each addition. add the colouring with the last spoon of sugar.
• 4 using 2 dessertspoons, put the mixture into 12 piles on the baking trays, lifting it out with one spoon and easing it off with the other.
• 5 bake for about an hour - if they can be lifted off the paper easily, they're ready.
