For best results, use fresh egg whites and ensure your bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease. Sifting the confectioners' sugar prevents lumps and ensures a smooth meringue. Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the meringues to collapse. Store cooled meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Step
3 mins
In a clean, grease-free glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. (3 minutes)
03
Step

Gradually add granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition until the meringue is glossy and holds stiff peaks. (5 minutes)
04
Step

Gently fold in the sifted confectioners' sugar and maple extract until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)

Step
10 mins
Spoon or pipe meringue onto the prepared baking sheets in 1-inch circles, leaving a small space between each. (10 minutes)
06
Step
55 mins
Place in the preheated oven, immediately reduce the temperature to 250°F (120°C), and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the meringues are dry to the touch and easily lift off the parchment paper. (55 minutes)

Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar. This helps prevent cracking. (60 minutes)
