Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Grease 2 baking sheets.
  • In a large bowl, combine the eggs, salt, orange juice and sugar.
  • Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it is extremely thick.
  • If you have a whisk attachment, it will work well for this.
  • To test if the mixture is ready, shake the bowl.
  • If the meringue barely moves, or doesn't move at all, it is ready.
  • If not, keep on mixing.
  • Spoon evenly sized mounds of the meringue, about 1 tablespoon, onto the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are light brown all the way around.
  • Handle them very gently, they are delicate.
  • Allow to cool on the baking sheet.
  • Remove to a large platter, enought for a party or large family gathering

    I love these and bake them quite often. I will try it with the juice next time. 5 forks
    Please allow me to correct you.. The portuguese name for meringues is "suspiros", not "espiros" :) I have a photo. Let me know if you want me to add it to your recipe.
