Ingredients

　　1/4 teaspoon salt

　　3 egg whites

　　6 tablespoons sugar

　　1/2 teaspoon almond extract

　　1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

　　Add the salt to the egg whites and beat until stiff. Gradually fold in the sugar and add the almond and vanilla extracts.

　　Note:

　　For meringue shells, preheat the oven to 225°F, then make the meringue. Drop the meringue on a greased baking sheet. Mash out with back of a spoon and make a hollow in the middle to hold the filling. Bake for 1/2 hour. Cool before adding your favorite filling.
