For special occasions, add food colouring and flavouring to your meringues. Fold in pink/cherry for Valentine’s Day, green/mint for St. Patrick’s, or top with sprinkles for the holidays!
Ingredients
- 6 egg whites
- ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) cream of tartar
- 1 ½ cups (375 mL) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 2
Beat egg whites in large glass or metal mixing bowl with electric mixer until frothy. Add cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time, until sugar is dissolved and stiff, glossy peaks form. Fold in vanilla.
- Step 3
To make meringues, dollop about 2 tbsp (30 mL) mixture per meringue onto baking sheet. Alternatively, pipe mixture onto sheets using a piping bag with a star tip or a re-sealable bag with the corner snipped.
- Step 4
Bake in preheated 275°F (135°C) oven until firm, about 55 to 60 minutes. Cool completely and store meringues in airtight container. Makes about 48 meringues.
