Meringue Topping - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 egg whites (at room temperature)
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
dash of salt
6 Tbsp. sugar

Preparation

Beat eggs as rapidly as possible until foamy.
Add salt and cream of tartar; continue beating until soft peaks form when beater is lifted.
Add sugar gradually and beat rapidly until stiff peaks form.
Spoon meringue onto hot or very warm filling.
(Meringue is less likely to weep than when baked on cold filling.)
Bake in hot oven (425\u00b0) for 4 to 4 1/2 minutes.
(High temperature is best for tenderness and preventing stickiness and shrinkage.)
