I must admit that for some reason, as old as I am now, I have always had a little trouble with my meringues. That is until I found this little jewel and I have used it for a long time now. It really works and very well I might add!
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 2 Tbsp. cold water
- 3 egg whites
- 6 Tbsp. sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp.vanilla
Directions:
Blend cornstarch and cold water in saucepan. Add boiling water and cook, stirring until clear and thick. Let stand until completely cold. With electric beater at high speed, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. Turn mixer to low and add salt and vanilla. Gradually beat in cold cornstarch mixture. Turn mixer again on high and beat well. Spread meringue over cooled pie filling. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
You gotta try this meringue folks. It cuts beautifully and never gets sticky!
