Kid's food - ghost meringues

150ml eggwhites (approx 4 eggs)
1 cup caster sugar
1 tsp white vinegar
silver balls for decorating

Preheat the oven to 120 degrees. Place the eggwhites in the bowl of the mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and vinegar and beat until the mixture is thick and glossy.

Place the meringue mixture into a piping bag. Use a 1 1/2cm nozzle to pip 30 ghosts onto a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Place 2 silver balls on each ghost for the eyes and bake for 25 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave to cool for 30mins or until crispy.
