- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature: This will help them whip up more easily.
- Whip the egg whites gradually: Start on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the egg whites start to foam.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will become dry and crumbly.
- Fold in the sugar gradually: This will help prevent the meringue from deflating.
- Use a piping bag to shape the meringues: This will help you create uniform meringues.
- Bake the meringues at a low temperature: This will help them dry out slowly and prevent them from cracking.
- Let the meringues cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape.
