Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Butter and flour a baking sheet.
  2. 2 Whip egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy using an electric mixer. Sprinkle in sugar a little at a time, while continuing to whip at medium speed. When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny like satin, stop mixing and transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag. Pipe meringue out onto the prepared baking sheet using a large round tip or star tip.
  3. 3 Place meringues in the preheated oven. Put a wooden spoon handle in the door to keep it from closing all the way.
  4. 4 Bake until meringues are dry and can easily be removed from the pan, about 3 hours. Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place egg whites and sugar into a metal bowl and set over a pan filled with about 2 inches of simmering water. Heat, frequently stirring, until the temperature of egg whites reaches 140 degrees. They will feel very hot to the touch.
  2. 2 Transfer heated egg whites and sugar to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Mix at high speed (or as high as you can go without egg whites flying out of the bowl) until they have reached their maximum volume, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix on medium or medium-high speed while pinching off small pieces of butter and throwing them in. Mix in vanilla if using. The buttercream may look like it is breaking down, but keep on mixing and it will come back together.
