Maple Syrup Meringue

Directions

1. 1
   Combine maple syrup and water in a small pot. Bring to a boil and let boil without stirring for 15 minutes. Watch the pot while boiling, and when bubbles get too high, remove the pot from the heat for a few seconds to let the bubbles settle. Return pot to heat and allow syrup to continue boiling.
2. 2
   Near the end of the boiling time, combine the egg whites and pinch of salt in the large bowl of a stand mixer. Beat to a stiff meringue and stop the mixer.
3. 3
   After syrup has boiled for the full 15 minutes, remove from heat and let cool for a minute or two.
4. 4
   Turn mixer on low. Slowly, in a very thin stream, add the syrup to the meringue. This should take close to 10 minutes to complete. After adding the syrup, continue beating (increasing speed if necessary) until the mixture looks like fluffy white snow.
5. 5
   Turn off the mixer and enjoy!
