Baked meringues

Directions

1. Beat the eggs until they form soft peaks. Continue to beat them as you gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and juice from 1/2 a lemon. Beat continually until firm peaks form.

2. Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius). Place a piece of baking paper on a cookie sheet and drop the meringue by large spoonfuls onto the paper. Lower the oven temperature to about 250 and bake until slightly toasted.

3. Remove and cool. Your meringues will be crunchy but fragile and will break easily. They’ll also melt in your mouth.
