Honey Walnut Meringue Kisses

Making meringue is a game of patience. Egg whites expand to eight times their volume with air. Here, honey adds sweetness, resulting in a chewier texture and caramel flavor compared to plain sugar. Walnut crunch contrasts perfectly with airy foam.

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line sheet with parchment.

Tip: Meringues dry rather than bake. High heat burns sugar before drying.
2

Whip egg whites with salt to soft peaks. Gradually add sugar spoonful by spoonful while whipping on high.

Tip: Sugar stabilizes. Whip until glossy, stiff peaks form and don't slide out of bowl.
3

Drizzle honey in thin stream, whip 1-2 more minutes.

Tip: Honey is heavy; add to stable foam.
4

Gently fold in ground walnuts with spatula. Do not overmix/deflate.

Tip: No electric mixer here!
5

Spoon mounds onto paper.

Tip: Use spoon for rustic, bag for precise shapes.
6

Bake (dry) 60-75 minutes. Done when they lift easily and sound hollow.

Tip: Turn off oven, prop door open, let cool inside to dry fully.

Recipe FAQ

Why sticky the next day?
Meringue hates humidity. Sugar (especially honey) absorbs moisture. Store in airtight container!
Won't whip up.
Yolk got in, or bowl was greasy. Fat kills foam.
