Number Of Ingredients 3

4 egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
1/3 cup(s) granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Carefully separate egg whites and yolks over a bowl. Check for shells or yolks.
  • Pour egg whites into a clean glass or metal bowl. Beat the egg whites until just bubbly.
  • Add the cream of tartar. Mix on medium-high speed.
  • When peaks form, slowly add granulated sugar. Mix on medium-high speed between additions. After all the sugar has been added, mix for 2-4 minutes until stiff peaks have formed.
  • Check meringue after mixing for 3-4 minutes. If it is shiny and stiff peaks form when the beaters are lifted, the meringue is done. If not, mix for another minute or two and check again.
  • Spread the meringue onto the pie filling and completely seal the crust.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • The meringue should be toasted brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
