Add the Granulated Sugar (4 Tbsp) , Salt (1/4 tsp) , and the Almond Extract (1 1/3 Tbsp) . Beat for 3-5 minutes or until medium shiny peaks.

Fold almond mixture into the egg whites. Fold well with a spatula until the mixture has turned into a smooth mass with a consistency similar to that of honey.
