ITALIAN MERINGUE

By:


Ingredients:

  • 4 egg whites

  • 1 cup sugar

Method:

Combine egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar or corn syrup in heatproof mixer bowl. Place bowl over pot of simmering water, and whisk until sugar is dissolved and whites are warmed to 145F, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and place bowl on electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Whip starting on low speed, increasing to high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add vanilla, and use meringue immediately.
