Crispy Meringue Bones
Ingredients
  • 6 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 1/3 cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Gather all necessary ingredients and equipment, including baking sheets, aluminum foil, an electric mixer, a bowl, a pastry bag, and small piping tips.
2
Preheat your oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit (110 degrees Celsius), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature before proceeding.
3
Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil and grease the foil thoroughly to prevent any sticking issues during the cooking process.
4
In a bowl, use an electric mixer to beat egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until they become frothy and well combined.
5
Gradually add sugar to the bowl, beating continuously in small increments until the sugar is fully incorporated and dissolves into a smooth meringue mixture.
6
Continue beating the meringue until it reaches a glossy consistency and forms a sharp peak when lifted straight up from the bowl.
7
Add vanilla extract to the meringue mixture and beat until well combined.
8
Spoon the prepared meringue into a pastry bag fitted with a small piping tip, allowing for precise control over the meringue's shape and size.
9
Pipe the meringue mixture into small bone shapes onto the prepared aluminum foil, working in batches to prevent deflation.
10
Place the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, avoiding any interruptions during this time.
11
Once the baking time is complete, turn off the oven and allow the meringue bones to cool within the oven for an additional 1 hour, without opening the door.
12
Carefully remove the meringue bones from the aluminum foil, taking great care to avoid breaking them during this process.
