Time 25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar and lemon juice, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
  • Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls egg mixture onto a baking sheet, making little peaked mounds.
  • Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned and dry on the outside yet soft and no longer gooey on the inside, 15 to 20 minutes.
