These simple meringues are full of vanilla flavor! Ingredients:
1 c. sugar, divided |
1 vanilla bean |
3 large egg whites ( at room temperature) |
1/4 tsp cream of tartar |
1/4 tsp salt |
1 tsp vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325.
2. Place 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean, and add seeds to sugar; discard bean. Stir well with a whisk.
3. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating mixture until stiff peaks form. Gradually add vanilla bean mixture and extract; beat until just combined. ( stiff peaks will take on the consistency of marshmallow cream).
4. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, secure to baking sheet with masking tape. Drop batter by level tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheet. Bake at 325 for 30-35 minutes or until crisp. Cool on pan on wire rack. Repeat procedure with remaining batter, reusing parchment paper. Store in airtight container.
