Combine the egg whites, salt, and juice/extract into the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on high until the mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks. Take care that there is no yoke mixed into the egg white.

Once the egg reach stiff peaks, add in the ¾ cup sugar and stir until well combined. Slowly add in the sugar/flour mixture.
