    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 210°F (100°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    2

    In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.

    3

    Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until the meringue is glossy and stiff.

    4

    Add the vanilla extract and mix until evenly incorporated.

    5

    Using a piping bag or a spoon, drop small mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.

    6

    Bake the meringues at 210°F (100°C) for 90-120 minutes, or until they are dry and light. Let them cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar.

    Store the baked meringues in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
