Step 1
Begin by bringing 2 cups of water to a gentle simmer in a medium pot.

In the bowl of your stand mixer, blend together sugar, egg whites, kosher salt, and cream of tartar.
Step 3
Once the water is simmering, lower the heat and position the stand mixer bowl over the steam.

Next, transfer the bowl to the stand mixer and attach the whisk attachment.

Whip the mixture on high speed until the egg whites cool down and form stiff peaks, which should take about 3 minutes.
