Yield Makes 20 meringues

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup superfine sugar
8 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
  • 2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or foil. On each, draw 10 4-inch circles.
  • 3. Mix the sugars and set aside.
  • 4. In a bowl or electric mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt. Continue to beat, adding 1 tablespoon of sugar at a time and beating well after each addition. This will take about 10 minutes.
  • 5. Add the vanilla and beat at high speed until stiff and glossy.
  • 6. Using a pastry tube fitted with a large plain tip, pipe the meringue in coils starting at the center and continuing to the outside of each circle.
  • 7. Bake about 1 hour, until cream colored and firm. Leave the meringues in the turned-off oven for several hours or overnight without opening the oven door.
  • 8. When ready to serve, carefully peel away the paper or foil.
