Vegan Rose Meringues
"The most subtle hint of rose and a bit of a lemon aftertaste," says Buckwheat Queen, who replaced cream of tartar with lemon juice. "I think these are a perfect amount of sweetness. I baked for two hours, then left them in until cooled. They came out light and crispy." Add more lemon juice for a tangier treat.Ā
