Whites Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Egg Whites

   Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Ensure that no yolk gets into the egg whites as this will prevent them from whipping properly.

2. 2

   Whip the Egg Whites

   In a large mixing bowl, add the 6 egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they become frothy.

3. 3

   Add Cream of Tartar

   Once frothy, add the cream of tartar to the bowl. This will help stabilize the egg whites. Continue to beat the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form.

4. 4

   Incorporate Sugar Gradually

   With the mixer still running, gradually add the 1 cup of granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Continue to beat on high speed until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.

5. 5

   Add Vanilla Extract

   Once stiff peaks have formed, add the 1 tsp of vanilla extract and mix until just combined.

6. 6

   Final Touches

   Carefully spoon the meringue mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating small dollops or shapes as desired.

7. 7

   Baking

   Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and bake the meringue for 1.5 to 2 hours, until they are dry and can be easily lifted off the parchment.

8. 8

   Cooling

   Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely, which will help them dry out further.
