Italian Meringue for Meringue Pies image

Categories     condiment

Time 15m

Yield About 6 cups (enough to top a 9-inch pie)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Put the sugar, 1/4 cup water and the corn syrup into a small saucepan and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook, without stirring, until the syrup registers 240 degrees F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, while the sugar is cooking, put the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the cream of tartar and increase the mixer speed to medium; whisk until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  • When the syrup reaches the correct temperature, reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly drizzle the hot syrup down the inside of the mixer bowl in a slow, steady stream (be sure not to let the syrup hit the whisk to avoid splattering). Increase the mixer speed to high and whip until the whites are stiff and glossy, about 4 minutes.
  • Use the meringue immediately to top a lemon meringue pie.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my meringue didn't turn out. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meringue turned out grainy. It was still edible, but it wasn't very good.

This recipe was a disaster! The meringue was too stiff, and it was impossible to spread. I had to start over with a different recipe.

I was really disappointed with this recipe. The meringue was too runny, and it didn't hold its shape at all. I ended up throwing it out.

I'm not a huge fan of meringue, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The meringue was light and fluffy, and it wasn't too sweet. I'd definitely make this again.

This meringue was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
