Ingredients
  

  • 2 egg whites

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 220F.

  • Once they form, it is time to start adding sugar, one tablespoon at the time, whisking well after each addition.
  • Once all the sugar is used, in the last addition add the lemon juice. This will ensure you have a firm mixture.
