Kittencal's No More Watery Meringue image

Using this method will prevent your meringue from "weeping" and will hold up well for days, it's great for lemon meringue pies --- prep time does not include cooling time. cornstarch/water mixture. If you are making two pies and using 6 or more egg whites, just double up and use 2 tbsp of cornstarch, 4 tbsps cold water and 1 cup boiling water, and follow same method.

Time 10h

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup boiling water
3 egg whites
7 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, blend the cornstarch with the water.
  • Add the boiling water, and cook, stirring until clear and thickened.
  • Let stand until COMPLETELY COLD ( I just put it in the fridge for an hour to speed up the cooling process, but by all means it can sit out at room temperature too).
  • With an electric mixer, at high speed, beat the egg whites until foamy.
  • Gradually add in the sugar; beat until stiff, but not dry.
  • Turn the mixer to low speed; add in the salt and vanilla.
  • Gradually beat in the cold cornstarch mixture.
  • Turn the mixer onto high again; beat well.
  • Spread the meringue over cooled pie filling sealing the meringue to the pie crust.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.

Overall, I thought this was a good recipe. The meringue was tasty and it was easy to make. I would definitely recommend it to others.

I'm not sure why, but my meringue didn't brown at all. It was still delicious, but it didn't look as pretty as I had hoped.

The meringue was a bit too soft for my liking. I think I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meringue turned out watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't work. Maybe I'll try again another time.

I'm not a big fan of meringue, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The meringue was not too sweet and it had a nice, chewy texture. I would definitely make this again.

I made this meringue for a pie and it was a huge hit! The meringue was light and airy, and it browned perfectly. I will definitely be using this recipe again.

I've tried many meringue recipes in the past, but this one is by far the best. The meringue was perfect - not too sweet, not too gooey, and it held its shape beautifully.
