175g Caster Sugar
1/4tsp Cream of Tartar
1/4tsp Salt
5tbs Golden Syrup
1tsp Vanilla Extract
2Tbs Water
2 Egg Whites
Put all the ingredients in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (Bain marie) and use a food mixer to beat together.
The mixture will turn from a pale golden grainy consistency to a whipped white meringue.
This can take up to 10 minutes.
Use this to spread over a cake, perhaps a lemon sponge with lemon curd is best, then you can blow torch the outside.
To be honest I don't think it is necessary as it doesn't cook or set the meringue it just seals the outside and creates a lovely bronzed finish.
