Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large large egg whites room temperature for better volume
  • 1 cup granulated sugar adds sweetness and structure
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar stabilizes egg whites
  • 1/8 tsp salt enhances flavor
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract provides warmth and aroma

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by preparing your mixing bowl and ensure it’s clean and dry.
  • Add the four large egg whites to the bowl, ensuring they’re at room temperature.
  • Add 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar to the egg whites.
  • Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add in the 1 cup of granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until glossy and stiff.
  • Once the sugar is fully mixed in, fold in 1/8 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract gently.

Baking

  • Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  • Drop dollops of the meringue mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them out.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, watching for a slightly crisp surface and light golden color.
  • Let the Cloud Bites cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure your mixing bowl is clean and dry for optimal egg white whipping. Be patient when adding sugar and allow Cloud Bites to cool completely to maintain delicate texture.
