To make egg whites into stiff peaks for meringue, separate the egg whites from the yolks and ensure there are no traces of yolks in the whites. Use a clean, dry bowl and beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until they become frothy. Gradually add sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks are achieved when the mixture holds its shape and stands upright when the beaters are lifted.
To make meringue using egg whites, you need to beat the egg whites until they are frothy, then gradually add sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. This creates a light and fluffy mixture that can be used for various desserts like pies and cookies.
To make meringue that doesn't weep, ensure that your egg whites are at room temperature before beating them, and gradually add sugar while beating until stiff peaks form. Bake the meringue at a low temperature for a longer time to prevent weeping.
To make a layered meringue cake, beat egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue on baking sheets and bake until crisp. Layer the meringue with whipped cream and fruit, then repeat the layers. Chill before serving.
Meringue is egg whites and sugar. There is no fat in it. In fact if you add any fat, it will make it very difficult if not impossible to get your egg whites to become stiff.
The weeping meringue occurs when moisture forms on top of the meringue, causing it to look wet or droopy. This can happen due to overbeating the egg whites or not baking the meringue long enough. To prevent this issue, make sure to beat the egg whites just until stiff peaks form, and bake the meringue until it is set and lightly browned. Additionally, avoid making meringue on a humid day, as moisture in the air can also contribute to the problem.
The egg whites don't move and you can make them into peaks. They are very stiff. Make sure you use a metal or glass bowl when beating egg whites they will beat better rather than in plastic.

Yes, absolutely. Typically for meringue you want to beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Over beaten whites will sort of deflate and the resulting meringue will be tough. Sometimes you can rescue your over-beaten whites by adding another egg white. A little bit of lemon juice or cream of tartar added to the eggs before beating will make them more stable.
