How to Make the Perfect Meringue Recipe
With three basic guidelines, you can achieve the magical fluff required to make our perfect meringue recipe!
Ingredients
Yield: 12 servings
- 4 egg whites
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar, superfine
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pour egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Add lemon juice. Whip eggs whites to a soft peak.
- Add the sugar slowly. When the whites first start to get glossy, add the vanilla and continue to whip until you reach stiff glossy peaks. You can test this by pulling out the whisk and dipping it into the meringue. If a strong wisp appears and holds it shape, that is considered a stiff peak.
Notes
You may substitute regular granulated sugar in place of superfine sugar but it won’t dissolve as easily.
