How to Make Pecan Meringues
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the chopped pecans, flour, cornstarch, and salt.
- 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.
- Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the beaten egg whites until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each meringue.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the meringues are lightly golden and crisp. Avoid overbaking.
- Let the meringues cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
