How do you make meringue?!
Answers:
Hope this is what you are looking for!
* 4 egg whites
* 2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Butter and flour a baking sheet.
2. In a glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer. Sprinkle in sugar a little at a time, while continuing to whip at medium speed. When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny like satin, stop mixing, and transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag. Pipe the meringue out onto the prepared baking sheet using a large round tip or star tip.
3. Place the meringues in the oven and place a wooden spoon handle in the door to keep it from closing all the way. Bake for 3 hours, or until the meringues are dry, and can easily be removed from the pan. Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.

I was given this recipe a long time ago when I fist was experimenting with meringue...it works well..
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup boiling water
3 egg whites
7 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 pinch salt
In a saucepan, blend the cornstarch with the water. Add the boiling water, and cook, stirring until clear and thickened.
Let stand until COMPLETELY COLD ( I just put it in the fridge for an hour to speed up the cooling process, but by all means it can sit out at room temperature too).
With an electric mixer, at high speed, beat the egg whites until foamy... Gradually add in the sugar; beat until stiff, but not dry. Turn the mixer to low speed; add in the salt and vanilla.... Gradually beat in the cold cornstarch mixture....Turn the mixer onto high again; beat well....
Spread the meringue over cooled pie filling sealing the meringue to the pie crust.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
Good luck....
Beat eggs whites with some sugar in a bowl. Copper bowls works best but any bowl will do. Do not allow any yolk to get into the whites or the will not stiffen properly.
Beat egg whites in a chilled glass or metal bowl.
