Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Meringue.
Step 1
To start your meringue journey, grab a large mixing bowl and add the egg whites along with a pinch of cream of tartar.
Step 2
This little addition helps stabilize the egg whites, ensuring your meringue turns out perfectly fluffy.
Step 3
Now, take your electric mixer and set it to medium speed.
Step 4
Beat the mixture until it becomes nice and foamy, like a soft cloud.
Step 5
Once you see those bubbles forming, it’s time to sweeten the deal! Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while you keep the mixer running.
Step 6
This slow addition allows the sugar to dissolve beautifully, creating a silky texture.
Step 7
When all the sugar is in, crank up the mixer to high speed and continue beating until you achieve stiff peaks.
Step 8
This means that when you lift the beaters, the meringue should hold its shape proudly, standing tall like a little mountain.
Step 9
And there you have it—your meringue is ready to shine in your favorite dessert! Enjoy the process and the delightful results!.
