Silky Meringue - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 or 4 egg whites
sugar (2 to 2 1/2 Tbsp. per egg white)

Preparation

Beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 1 minute or until soft peaks form (tips curl) when beaters are lifted out.
A hand mixer works fine but beating time may be slightly longer.
At soft peak stage, add sugar slowly while beating egg whites, so that sugar dissolves.
Beat 7 minutes or until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight).
Spread the meringue over hot pie filling to avoid leakage between filling and meringue.
Also, seal the crust well to prevent leakage and shrinking.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden.
