Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup superfine sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine whites, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until soft peaks form, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle sugar over the egg white mixture; beat on high speed until glossy peaks form, about 3 minutes. Sift cornstarch over mixture, and fold to combine.
  • Using two soup spoons, drop balls of meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press down on center of each ball with one spoon to form a small cup.
  • Bake 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 175 degrees; continue baking until outside is dry and crisp and inside is chewy, about 1 hour more. Remove from oven; let cool completely.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meringue cups turned out flat and chewy. I'll have to try again.

These meringue cups are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of meringue, but I really enjoyed these cups. The filling is light and flavorful, and the shell is perfectly crispy.

These meringue cups are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few extra after I make a batch of cookies.
