Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
