Italian Meringue
Ingredients: For the Egg Whites: 2/3 cup egg whites (4 to 5 whites)
For the Sugar Syrup: 1-1/3 cups sugar
Instructions: Beat the egg whites at slow speed until the foam throughout, add the salt and cream of tartar, gradually increase the speed to fast, and beat to soft peaks. Turn the machine to slow as you complete the sugar syrup. Bring the sugar and water to the simmer, swirl the pan to dissolve the sugar completely, cover tightly and boil to the soft-ball stage (234°F to 240°F; 112°C to 116°C on a candy thermometer). Beating the egg whites at moderately slow speed, dribble into them the boiling syrup trying to avoid the wires of the whip. Increase speed to moderately fast and beat until cool and the egg whites form stiff, shining, upstanding peaks. The meringue is now ready to use as your recipe directs. |
