Ingredients:
1. 3 large egg whites
2. 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3. 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
4. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
1. Separate the Eggs:
The key to achieving those billowy clouds lies in perfectly separated egg whites. Crack your eggs and carefully separate the yolks from the whites, ensuring no yolk contaminates the whites.
Tip: Eggs separate best when cold, so avoid using warm eggs.
2. Whisk the Egg Whites:
In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk.
3. Beat Until Stiff Peaks Form:
Once the sugar is fully incorporated, increase the mixer speed to high and continue whisking until stiff peaks form. The peaks should hold their shape when the whisk is lifted. A pinch of cream of tartar can help stabilize the egg whites and achieve stiffer peaks.
4. Fold in Vanilla (Optional):
If desired, gently fold in the vanilla extract using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the egg whites.
5. Pipe the Clouds:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or piping bag, pipe the egg white mixture into small cloud shapes.
6. Bake Until Golden Brown:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the Cloud Bread for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
7. Cool and Enjoy!
Let the Cloud Bread cool completely on the baking sheet before digging in.
Cloud Bread Tips:
- Use room temperature egg whites for optimal volume.
- If your egg whites aren’t whipping properly, ensure your bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease.
- Don’t overmix once you’ve added the sugar. Overmixing can deflate the egg whites.
- Get creative with flavors! Add a pinch of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or a few drops of food coloring to your batter for a fun twist.
- Enjoy your Cloud Bread plain, toasted, or filled with your favorite sweet or savory toppings.
Now that you’ve conquered Cloud Bread, you’re officially on your way to TikTok recipe fame (or at least enjoying a delicious and trendy treat).
