Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F/Gas 5). Beat the cream with the sugar and vanilla essence until it has thickened slightly. Carefully fold in the egg whites. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, a little at a time, continuing to fold until combined.

2
Lightly grease a baking tray with butter. Using the piping bag, lay down finger-width strips of the mixture, at least 1 finger-width apart, as the mixture will spread during baking. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the meringues are golden. The centres should still be gooey. Leave to cool slightly.

Using a spatula, carefully lift the meringues off the baking tray and onto a wire rack to cool. Trim, if necessary, while still warm. Serve once the meringues have cooled completely.
