Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar , divided
- 8 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- Place one cup of the sugar in your food processor for 30 seconds and process until the granules are much smaller.
- Mix the sugar with the remaining one cup of sugar in a medium bowl.
- In your stand mixer add the 8 egg whites on medium speed until foamy before adding in the cream of tartar and salt.
- On medium speed add in a spoonful of sugar every 30 seconds then finally add in the vanilla (the mixture should be very shiny any stiff).
- Transfer in batches to a pastry bag with a star tip and pipe in a circle then spiral up onto itself .
- Bake for 50-55 minutes or until they just start to turn cream colored then turn the oven off but do not remove them or open the oven (I leave them in there overnight).
