Tips:
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start whisking them. This will help them reach their full volume and create a stiff meringue.
- Add the sugar gradually, a little at a time, as you whisk the egg whites. This will help prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
- Continue whisking the meringue until it is stiff and glossy. It should hold peaks when you lift the whisk out of the bowl.
- If you are using a piping bag to shape the meringues, make sure to use a large tip so that the meringues can be piped easily.
- Bake the meringues at a low temperature for a long time. This will help them to dry out and become crispy.
- Let the meringues cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from making the meringues soggy.
