Portuguese Snow Drops

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar and lemon juice, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
• Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls egg mixture onto a baking sheet, making little peaked mounds.
• Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned and dry on the outside yet soft and no longer gooey on the inside, 15 to 20 minutes.
