Ingredients

• 4 egg whites at room temperature.
• 1 cup of sugar
• ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
• ½ teaspoon almond extract

Method

• Let the egg whites come to room temperature.
• When separating the whites and yolks, be careful not to get the yolk into the whites. Otherwise, the meringues could be difficult to work with.
• Beat the egg whites until foamy, and add the cream of tartar. Continue beating for another 15-20 seconds.
• Add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until all the sugar is incorporated.
• Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
• Stir in the almond extract.
• Preheat the oven to 225°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Put the meringue mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip and make 1-2 inches diameter meringues with a swirl on top.
• Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the heat and leave the meringues in the closed oven for several hours or overnight.
• Bon Appetite!
