Rhubarb Meringues
- 3.5 oz (100 g) cold butter
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 1/2 cups (190 g) confectioners' sugar
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) lemon juice
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- A few drops of red food coloring
- 2 tbsp (30 g) granulated sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whip the egg white and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
3. Sift the flour over the egg mixture and gently fold until combined.
4. Add the cold butter and vanilla extract, then mix until a smooth dough forms.
5. Divide the dough into 15 equal portions and shape each into a ball.

7. Dust the meringues with flour and bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until firm and lightly golden.
8. Allow the meringues to cool completely on the baking sheet.
