Cardamom Whats-Its (Meringues) :)



This is a super easy dessert and is a very fun snack for any occasion! I added 3/4 tsp cardamom instead of 1/2 tsp. The cardamom was a little strong, so the flavor was a bit overwhelming, but it still tasted amazing!


Ingredients:
3 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cardamom

Cardamom is a very fragrant spice. It's also very expensive!


Method:

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil. 

In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar and cardamom, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. I used the KitchenAid mixer, and it was a breeze. Drop rounded tablespoon amounts onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake 90 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are completely dried out. Wait for them to cool off before removing them from the foil. They should easily peel off.





Nully's Tips:
If you don't recognize an ingredient, try looking it up BEFORE you decide it's not important, because it could be VERY important!

Store your meringues in an airtight container or zip type baggie for up to a week.
