Paciencia Cookies *A meringue biscuit that’s worth all the whisking* plain flour 30g baking powder 0.5g egg whites 2 caster sugar 200g vanilla extract 1g Preheat oven to 180C fan/gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. Sift the flour and baking powder and set aside. Beat the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When they start to foam, add the sugar little by little and beat until the meringue is glossy with stiff peaks. Fold in the flour and vanilla extract. Fill a piping bag fitted with a round piping nozzle with the meringue batter. Pipe it into round mounds about 2.5cm in diameter and 2.5cm apart on the parchment-lined baking tray. Bake until lightly toasted, 12-15 min. Cool on the sheet for 10 min. and transfer to an airtight jar.
