Ingredients

35 servings

2 egg whites (room temperature)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp cream of tartar
⅔ cup superfine sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 225°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix egg whites and lemon juice until foamy. Add tartar and set mixer to medium high.
Beat in sugar 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing after each addition. Continue mixing until shiny and stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Ensure the sugar is dissolved.
Fit a large star tip onto a piping bag and fill with the meringue mixture. Pipe into 1-inch kisses. Add sprinkles if desired.
Bake for 1 hour or until firm. Turn the oven off and leave meringues in the oven at least 3 hours or overnight.
