Are you tired of weepy, sticky meringue? This meringue will not let you down. It stands proud and adorns your favorite pie with a delicious mound of delicate meringue. The cook time does not reflect the time to cool the cornstarch mixture. This recipe is from one of my all time favorite cookbooks- More Make-A-Mix Cookery, Ingredients:
3 egg whites, room temperature |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 pinch salt |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1/2 cup water |
6 tablespoons sugar |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch, 3 tablespoons sugar, salt, lemon juice and water.
2. Bring to a slow boil over medium heat and stir until clear and thick.
3. Set aside and cool completely.
4. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
5. Gradually add cooled cornstarch mixture, beating until mixture thickens.
6. Gradually add 6 tablespoons sugar, beating until soft peaks form, approximately 5 to 8 minutes.
7. Spoon the prepared meringue over your favorite pie and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
