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'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meringues turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but my meringues didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a little too soft and didn't have the right texture.

These meringues turned out perfectly! They were crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside, just like I like them. I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfectly.
