Meringue Kisses

These were supposed to look really sweet, pastely and smart.

But they turned out pastely but kinda pudgy without the smart sharp ridges that give the meringue kiss its elegant form. As the batter could not quite hold its form upright in the end I made some into blobs/ swirls. I blame it on our humidity!

Am not entirely sure what went wrong - the humidity (especially at this time of the year!) probably played a part; but perhaps I also didn't beat my egg whites till they were sufficiently stiff.

So there - my maiden attempt to make meringue kisses... maybe it would be more apt to call them meringue blobs for now :P
