How Do You Make A Merengue?
To make a merengue, start by separating egg whites from the yolks and placing them in a clean, grease-free mixing bowl. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy, then gradually add in sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Add a pinch of salt and a splash of vinegar or cream of tartar to stabilize the mixture. The merengue is ready when it holds its shape and is glossy in appearance. Use it to top pies, cakes, or as a base for pavlovas.
