If using muffin tin to make mini meringues do you need grease or flour in any way?
You don't need to grease or flour a muffin tin for making mini meringues.
Here's why:
* Meringues are naturally non-stick: The egg whites, when whipped to stiff peaks, create a structure that easily releases from the pan.
* Greasing or flouring can inhibit browning: The sugar in the meringue caramelizes during baking, giving it a beautiful golden color. Greasing or flouring can interfere with this process.
Tips for easy release:
* Use a parchment paper liner: This provides a barrier between the meringue and the pan, making clean up a breeze.
* Let the meringues cool completely: Allowing the meringues to cool in the pan before removing them will prevent them from breaking.
* If you're really concerned about sticking: You can lightly spray the muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. However, this may slightly affect the browning of the meringues.
Enjoy your mini meringues!
