If you have any egg whites remaining you can always make meringue. Bring egg whites to room temperature making sure that you use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl, and make sure it's spotless clean. Plastic bowls can harbor grease, which will prevent the egg whites from forming stiff peaks. Any egg yolk in the egg white will also fail.

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar
  • 6 tablespoons of sugar

Combine egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla. and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. That is when the tips curl over. Slowly add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 4 minutes or so. Spread meringue to the end of a pie so no gaps show, carefully sealing the edges so the edges do not pull apart. Bake approximately 350 F for10 minutes or so until the meringue begins to brown. Remove immediately. Allow pie to cool.

Sometimes we put large dollops of meringue on a Teflon baking sheet and lightly press a dent into the meringue forming a small bowl. Bake until lightly brown and watch carefully so it does not burn. We then add fresh fruit to the bowl when cooled and the fruit and meringue bowl are edible.

Egg whites have to be separated from the egg yolks because any fat in the mixture will prevent the whites from foaming to form the meringue. An average egg yolk contains 5-7 grams of fat.

The fat molecules in the egg yolk weigh down the mixture, preventing foaming.
