Ingredients

• 4 large Egg whites
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Powdered sugar
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 100°C (210°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a clean, dry bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk the egg whites until they become frothy.

Step 3

Add the pinch of salt and continue whisking until soft peaks form.

Step 4

Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk. Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved before adding more. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Once the mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks, gently fold in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and almond flour. Discard any large pieces that don’t pass through the sieve.

Step 7

Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the meringue mixture using a rubber spatula. Do this in small increments to avoid deflating the egg whites.

Step 8

Transfer the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip or star tip, depending on your preferred design.

Step 9

Pipe small mounds or shapes, about 2 inches in size, onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave some space between each meringue as they will expand slightly during baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until the meringues are crisp and easily lift off the parchment paper.

Step 11

Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside with the door slightly ajar. This helps to prevent cracking.

Step 12

Once fully cooled, store the meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
