How To Make A Basic Meringue

The two main ingredients for making meringues are egg whites and sugar. In this recipe, Annie Schennum also flavors the meringues with a teaspoon of vanilla extract. The key, according to Schennum, is to whip the egg whites continuously until they are stiff before adding any sugar. Then you slowly add the sugar, all the while whipping on high speed, until all of the sugar is incorporated into the meringue. "Take your time and do not rush adding the sugar," she counsels. "And it could take up to 8 to 10 minutes to add all of th sugar."

The vanilla is added after the last of the sugar. Once it is all mixed, Schennum uses a piping bag to create the meringue shapes on baking sheets covered with parchment paper. This allows her to make a circle onto the parchment that is used as a guide to create the meringue discs. She says that you can also simply use a couple of large spoons to create cookie shaped meringues as well.

If you were wondering the measurements, for every one egg white you use, it's 1/4 cup of sugar! Hope I helped!

I watched this video over and over thinking I misheard how much sugar she said to use but then I realized that she never mentioned

Thank you for the refresher course. I hadn't done that in 10 yrs and my wife didn't believe I could. I always forget not to add the sugar too quick. Very helpful :)
