- 3 egg whites
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar and lemon juice, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
- Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls egg mixture onto a baking sheet, making little peaked mounds.
- Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned and dry on the outside yet soft and no longer gooey on the inside, 15 to 20 minutes.
