French Meringue

This French Meringue recipe is amazingly versatile and can be used in cake and soufflé batters or piped as cookies. It lends volume and airiness to any baked recipe.

Ingredients

Directions

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer), whip egg whites and cream of tartar or lemon juice on medium-high speed until frothy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add in sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the sugar is fully dissolved. Continue mixing until the meringue is glossy and holds a stiff peak, about 8-9 minutes. Add in vanilla extract and beat for an additional 10-30 seconds.
