Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

For a 2-Egg Meringue:
2 large egg whites (room temperature)
Pinch of salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
4 tablespoons sugar (preferably superfine)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For a 3-Egg Meringue:
3 large egg whites (room temperature)
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons sugar (preferably superfine)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a mixing bowl-preferably stainless steel or glass- beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt using the low speed of an electric mixer until they are frothy.
  • Add the cream of tartar and increase the mixer speed to medium. Continue beating until the whites are fluffy, with large bubbles forming around the edges.
  • With the mixer running, add the sugar a few teaspoons at a time, mixing the sugar in completely before adding more. Continue until all of the sugar is incorporated.
  • Continue beating until the peaks are firm but still glossy. Add the vanilla .
  • Spoon the meringue onto the hot pie filling. If you are topping an unbaked pie filling, have it at room temperature (not cold) before you top it with the meringue. Spread the meringue to the crust edge to seal the filling in. Fluff it with the back of a spoon to make decorative peaks across the pie.
  • Bake at 350 F/180 C/Gas Mark 4 for about 12 minutes for 2 egg whites or about 15 minutes for 3 egg whites.
  • Serve and enjoy.

to keep the meringue from weeping, never add more than 2 tbls of sugar for each egg white, also the oven temperature for browning it should not be above 325*...the addition of cream of tartar also gives the whites stability..this makes enough meringue for 1--9" pie..
