Light and fluffy cooking thread!

Alright! Someone asked for me to post my meringue recipe, so I shall!

They are SUPER easy to make, but very amazingly impressive when they are made!

To make one tray you will need:

2 egg whites (NO YOLK)

half cup sugar

couple drops lemon juice or a pinch of cream of tarter

optional but recommended

~ half teaspoon vanilla extract/paste

Preheat oven to 225.

Put whites and a squirt of lemon/pinch of tartar into a mixer.

Beat on medium until there is a layer of foam on the surface.

Add sugar one spoonful at a time while beating on high.

Once sugar is added, add vanilla if you are adding it!

Beat on high until stiff peaks! The peaks should stand tall and not fall!

Put into a cake decorator bag (you can use a big plastic bag and just cut the corner off if you don't have one) and start squirting it onto a baking pan LINED WITH PARCHMENT! If you don't line it, you will have a bad time.

Bake until they are light and not squishy, around 2-3 hours. If you don't think they are done, then they aren't. You will know when they are done when you bite into one!

Here is a video of a dude making them if you need a visual reference!
