Method
  • In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Sprinkle with cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Pipe meringue through pastry bag fitted with a large star tip or drop from a teaspoon onto baking sheets lined with ungreased aluminum foil or parchment paper; top with sprinkles or crushed candy canes. Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 45 minutes or until lightly coloured. Turn off heat; leave meringues in the oven with the door slightly open for at least 1 hour or until cool. Remove from baking sheets.
  • Makes about 4-1/2 dozen meringues.
