Use this meringue topping on pies or desserts.

Ingredients:

  • 2 egg whites
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation:

Beat egg whites until frothy; gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla or other flavoring. Spoon onto pie, spreading to crust edge to seal filling in. Bake at 325° for 15 to 18 minutes, until nicely browned.

For a higher topping, use 3 egg whites, 6 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Double the recipe for a larger pie or two pies.

"I got really frustrated with this recipe because the meringue never got the peaks it should have during the beating process. My lemon meringue came out with a flat meringue top with no peaks and the meringue was runny....followed the recipe to the ""t"" and still didn't get the desired results."
