Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Combine white sugar and egg whites in a saucepan over low heat, cook, stirring constantly, until well blended and heated through, about 10 minutes.

  3. Pour white sugar and egg white mixture into a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.

  4. Scoop beaten egg whites into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe into small swirls onto a baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 15 minutes. Turn off oven and keep baking sheet inside as oven cools, about 15 minutes.

Recipe Note

Simple and original dessert from my home country, Guatemala. It can make a nice coffee break a little more special and it's really easy to make.
