Pumpkin Spice Meringues

Zuzana Paar
Pumpkin Spice Meringues are the kind of treat that look fancy but don’t take much effort at all. They bake up light, crisp, and just the right amount of sweet. Once you get the hang of whipping egg whites, you’ll feel like a baking pro in no time.

Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup egg whites no trace of yolk
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or liquid pumpkin flavoring
  • 1 ½ cups sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place egg whites and cream of tartar in a stand mixer bowl. Beat on medium until bubbly and frothy.
