Portuguese Snow Drops

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.
