Silky Meringue

Directions

1. 1
   Beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 1 minute or until soft peaks form (tips curl) when beaters are lifted out.
2. 2
   A hand mixer works fine but beating time may be slightly longer.
3. 3
   At soft peak stage, add sugar slowly while beating egg whites, so that sugar dissolves.
4. 4
   Beat 7 minutes or until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight).
5. 5
   Spread the meringue over hot pie filling to avoid leakage between filling and meringue.
6. 6
   Also, seal the crust well to prevent leakage and shrinking.
7. 7
   Bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden.
