recipe is incorrect MUST use only egg whites NOT entire egg

I just love this desert. But you should try orange peel no orange juice. And the name is SUSPIRO

My portugues grandmother also made these. They are nearly classic meringues, in our family always topped with those little silver candies that look like BB's. My grandmother made these with the left over egg whites from malasadas or masa. The recipe that I am reading shows 12 eggs. If you use the egg yolks, you will end up with flat sweet scrambled egg cookies. I used egg whites not whole eggs,sugar, salt, orange juice as instructed but added lemon rind, because my grandmother added lemon rind to everything. I cooked mine for about an hour, then left them in the warm oven for another 30 to 45 minutes. They were not as good as my grandmothers, but she had 40+ more years cooking experience than me.

I am an experienced baker, and I beat this mixture for 40 minutes on high speed with a stand mixer....it never got beyond a soupy mess. Desparate, I added cream of tartar, then an extra egg...no luck! Sounded good, too.

I talked to my vovo and she said do not use egg whites in this recipe. You are only supposed to use the egg whites
