Meringue

Directions

• Remove eggs from the refrigerator and separate, as they will separate best cold.
• Allow egg whites to reach room temperature to allow them to whip to their fullest.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Pour eggs whites into a spotlessly-clean bowl.
• Whip the egg whites until they are glossy and smooth
• Add the cream of tartar to help the egg whites hold their form.
• Slowly add the sugar to the egg whites about a tablespoon at a time, beating after each addition until the sugar is incorporated.
• Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
• Spread meringue on top of pre-baked or no-bake dessert
• Place about 4 inches under the heat and bake for about 10 minutes, until golden.
