Ingredients
- 3 large Egg whites
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 90 grams Corn flakes
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt on medium speed until they become frothy.
Step 3
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture on high speed. Beat until the egg whites form stiff, glossy peaks. This may take 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and gently fold it into the meringue using a spatula.
Step 5
Crush the corn flakes lightly with your hands, and gently fold them into the meringue mixture until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Using a spoon or a piping bag, place small dollops of the mixture (about 1.5-inch diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours, or until the meringoons are dry and crisp to the touch. They should easily lift off the parchment paper when done.
Step 8
Turn off the oven and let the meringoons cool inside with the door slightly ajar. This will help them dry out completely without cracking.
Step 9
Once cooled, store the meringoons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
