I made these tonight... or rather, I attempted at making them. Unfortunately I do not know enough about making Meringues to fully understand your directions. I set my oven to 400°C but was unsure whether or not to leave it on after I put the meringues in. I will make another attempt at these as the flavour was REALLY good (as long as you didn't eat the very burnt bottom). I will re-review once I have mastered these!
