Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 egg whites
- 1 dash salt
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Cornstarch Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until clear, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Beat the Egg Whites: In a clean mixing bowl, whip egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate the Cornstarch Mixture: Gradually add the warm cornstarch-sugar-water mixture to the egg whites while whisking on low speed, then increase to medium speed and whip until creamy and glossy, around 4-5 minutes.
- Add Salt & Sugar: Add a dash of salt and slowly sprinkle in the remaining sugar. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
- Apply to Pie: Spread the meringue over your cooled pie filling, creating peaks and swirls for visual appeal.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 20-30 minutes, until the meringue is delicately golden.
