½ cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 egg white
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

I had a hard time getting the meringue to stiffen. I ended up having to beat it for over 10 minutes. But once it was stiff, the meringue squares turned out great.

These meringue squares were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.

I've made meringue squares many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The meringue was so light and airy, and the filling was perfectly creamy. I will definitely be making these again and again.

These meringue squares were a delightful treat! They were light and fluffy, with a perfectly crisp exterior. The flavor was sweet and delicate, with a hint of vanilla. I would definitely make these again.
