Best Answer

Meringues split because-

One- because you didn't mix it well to the right consistency.

Two-maybe you set the temperature too high, (that's what happened to me).

---OR---

Did the mixture go all foamy?

Did the mixture go all watery?

Did the mixture go too hard?

Did you not put enough sugar in?

---If you got these---

That's the problem...

Use a electric whisker or something.

You don't need to take much work with that!

---OR---

It tends to happen sometimes, that's what makes the meringue not look nice...

Happy cooking!
