Time 2h25m

Yield 16 meringues

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 egg whites
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla (or orange flower water, or maple extract)
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup icing sugar (confectioners' sugar)
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Using a whisk or electric mixer, whip the egg whites and salt into peaks. Add the vanilla, and continue beating to stiff peaks.
  • Stir the cream of tartar into the regular sugar and whisk into the whites very gradually, a spoonful at a time, until the meringue is stiff and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Sift together the icing sugar and cornstarch. Sift over the meringue and gently fold until fully incorporated.
  • Pipe or spoon the meringues onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 225 degrees F/110 degrees C until cream-coloured and crisp on top when tapped, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the meringues from the oven. Cool on the trays. Store in an air-tight container.

I had some trouble getting the meringues to stiffen up, but I eventually got them there. They turned out great!

These meringues were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were very good.

I'm not a big fan of meringues, but I have to admit that these were pretty good. They were light and fluffy, and they had a nice flavor.

I was a bit skeptical about making meringues at home, but this recipe made it easy. I'm so glad I tried it!

I've made meringues before, but they've never turned out as well as these. I think the key is in the recipe's instructions to beat the egg whites until they're stiff peaks.

These meringues turned out perfectly! They were crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside, just like I wanted.
