Suspiros - Sighs - Meringue

Each time you have leftovers of egg whites such as when I did the Pão de Ló, this is the perfect recipe so not to throw anything away. But do not expect these to last if there are children around.

INGREDIENTS

6 egg whites
3 cups of white sugar
1 tsp of vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

1. Beat the egg whites with the vanilla extract until they are well stifened
2. Add the sugar and mix until a smooth creamy paste and not grainy
3. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper
4. Place soup spoon amount of the cream on top of the baking sheet allowing a little space in between each
5. Place the sheet in the oven at 200 degrees for about 2 to 3 hours
6. Suspiros will be done when firm and crunchy yet will melt in your mouth when you eat them
