Servings:
2
qt
Ingredients
1/2
cup
water
2
cups
granulated sugar
8
oz
egg whites
(approx 6 - 8 eggs)
1/4
tsp
salt
3
tbs
meringue powder
1
tsp
flavor of your choice
Instructions
Make sure that all utensils are grease free and dry
Add the egg whites, meringue power, and salt into the mixer bowl and place on the stand mixer that has been fitted with the whisk attachment
In a saucepan, heat the sugar and water until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to boil
Use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the sugar/water syrup mixture
When the thermometer reads 220 degree, begin to whip the egg whites. Make sure the egg whites form soft peaks before adding the syrup
Once the sugar/water syrup reaches 245 degrees, remove from the heat and slowly pour into the egg whites in a slow steady stream.
Continue to mix on high speed (#10 on Kitchen Aid Mixer) until the bowl is cool to the touch and the meringue forms stiff peaks.
Add the flavor of your choice and continue to mix until smooth and glossy.
Notes
Avoid pouring the sugar/water syrup on the whisk or the bowl.
