    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 212°F (100°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    2

    In a clean bowl, begin whipping the egg whites on low speed until soft peaks form.

    3

    Gradually add the granulated sugar, one spoonful at a time, while continuously whipping. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract.

    4

    Add the grated lemon zest and continue whipping until the meringue is stiff and glossy.

    5

    Using a piping bag, form small mounds or swirls onto the prepared baking sheet.

    6

    Bake the meringues for 1.5-2 hours at low temperature until crisp. Leave them to cool in the oven to dry out completely.

    7

    Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with lemon zest, if desired.
