How to Make Pecan Meringues

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chopped pecans, flour, cornstarch, and salt.
  3. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. This will take several minutes.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the beaten egg whites until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  5. Drop rounded spoonfuls of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each meringue.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the meringues are lightly golden and crisp. Avoid overbaking.
  7. Let the meringues cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
