Good Meringue

Ingredients

• 3 egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 0.75 cup white sugar

Steps

1. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl with an electric mixer fitter with a whisk attachment until foamy, about 2 minutes. Add a couple of tablespoons of sugar and continue to whisk until fully incorporated. Repeat until all sugar is used. Continue whisking on high speed until meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form. You can test this by turning the bowl upside down—if meringue holds and doesn’t fall, it’s ready.
