Стъпки
- 1
Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2
In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
- 3
Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
- 4
Gradually add granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is completely dissolved.
- 5
Beat in vanilla extract.
- 6
Spoon or pipe the meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, shaping them into small kisses or lip-like forms.
- 7
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the meringues are dry to the touch and lift easily off the parchment paper. They should be crisp on the outside and slightly chewy inside.
- 8
Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar. This prevents cracking.
- 9
Once completely cool, dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.
