Tasty little gems. They are easy to make. Better is you sprinkle a little kosher or coarse salt just before baking or hot right out of the oven. Started the egg white in the food processor. Even in the small bowl 1 egg white is just not enough to do in that effectively....finished by hand. 1 batch produced 80 meringues for me. Had I followed the 2 halves per rule there would have been 110-120. Could just spread it thin and then break it up when cooled. I will do that in future if I feel lazy.
