- 1 teaspoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional, for structure)
- 1 teaspoon honey or sweetener (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep – Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whip the Egg Whites – In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
