  • 100 g Sugar
  • 1 TEASPOON ground aniseed
  • 7-10 Tbsp red food colouring
  • 1-2 TABLESPOONS small silver or gold coloured sugar beads
  • baking paper

Directions

    Beat the egg whites and lemon juice with the whisks of the hand mixer until stiff. Slowly pour in the sugar and continue beating until the sugar has dissolved and a shiny mass has formed.

    Fold in aniseed. Pour half of the meringue mixture into a piping bag with star-shaped spout (10 mm Ø). Spray small dots onto a baking tray covered with baking paper. Colour the rest of the meringue pink with food colouring, then spray onto the baking paper as described.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle meringue with sugar pearls. Dry in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 100 °C/ circulating air: 75 °C/ gas: not suitable) for about 3-3 1/2 hours. After about 30 minutes at conventional heat, clamp a wooden spoon between the oven and the oven door to allow moisture to escape.
