These meringue snow drops are also called 'sonjos' in Portuguese.

Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add sugar and lemon juice, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift the beater or whisk straight up: egg whites should hold sharp peaks.

  3. 3

    Drop meringue mixture by heaping teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet, making little peaked mounds.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and dry on the outside yet soft and no longer gooey on the inside, 15 to 20 minutes.
