Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the egg whites become frothy.
Add the cream of tartar and continue beating. Gradually increase the speed to high and beat until soft peaks form.
Slowly add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat. Make sure each addition is dissolved before adding the next. This process should take 5-7 minutes.
Once all the granulated sugar has been incorporated, sift the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon into the meringue mixture. Gently fold them in using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Add the vanilla extract and fold gently again until just combined.
Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip. Pipe small mounds (approximately 1.5 inches in diameter) onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking.
After baking, turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the oven door slightly ajar for an additional hour. This helps them dry completely.
Remove from the oven and let the meringues cool fully before transferring them to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy!
