Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  2. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy.
  3. Add cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.

  5. Beat in vanilla extract.
  6. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  7. Pipe bone shapes onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let meringues cool inside the oven for another hour to dry out completely.
  9. Remove from oven and store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Ensure no egg yolk gets into the whites to achieve perfect peaks.
  • Use a bone template under the parchment if you need help piping shapes.
  • Humidity can affect meringue texture; make on a dry day if possible.
