Equipment

  • piping bag

Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tarter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • When separating the eggs, be very careful not to get any yolks into the the mix. This would prevent the whites from forming a meringue.
  • Whisk the egg whites, cream of tarter and salt on a medium speed until foamy.
  • Whisking on high, slowly add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Whisk in between tablespoons until sugar dissolves completely, about 20-30 seconds.
  • Once the meringue is glossy it is ready. Scoop into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  • Fill the baking sheet with one inch swirls. They can be closely piped together.
  • Bake for 1 hour at 200°. Turn off the oven, but leave the meringues in for an additional two hours.
  • Enjoy!
