Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h20m

Yield about 42 meringues

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large egg whites
Pinch fine salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup superfine sugar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 250 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. While beating, gradually add the sugar and then continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the almond extract.
  • Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a star pastry tip and pipe 1-inch meringues onto the prepared baking sheets, about 1-inch apart. Bake until the meringues are no longer glossy and feel light and dry when picked up, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven but leave the meringues inside with the door cracked open until the meringues are completely cooled and dry, about 2 hours more. The meringues can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

These meringues were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would add a little more moisture next time, perhaps by adding some whipped cream or yogurt.

These meringues were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meringues didn't turn out as expected. They were a bit too dense and chewy.

These meringues were a bit too crunchy for my taste. I think I would bake them for a shorter amount of time next time.
