  • 1 3/4 cups (200 g) powdered sugar

  • 3 large egg whites, room temperature

  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar

  • Whip egg whites until foamy, gradually add sugar, beat to stiff peaks, and fold in vanilla.

  • Fold dry ingredients into meringue until batter flows like lava.

  • Pipe 1.5-inch circles onto parchment-lined trays and tap to remove air bubbles.
