PAULA DEEN'S MILE-HIGH MERINGUE RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Paula Deen's Mile-High Meringue Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by kshepherd322

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
10 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon clear or regular vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Separate a cold egg by transferring the yolk between the broken halves and letting the white drip into a small bowl. Transfer the white into a metal or glass mixing bowl. Separate the next egg over the small bowl as well-not over the mixing bowl. This way, if some of the yolk gets in the white, then you have lost only one egg. Let egg whites come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Beat the egg whites at the mixer's top speed until the mixture looks like sea form on a beach. Add cream of tartar to the foam to help stabilize the meringue. Keep beating egg whites at high speed until they reach soft peaks. When you lift the beaters from the beaten egg whites, the peaks will stand up straight and then fall over. Add the sugar gradually, about a tablespoon at a time, all while beating at a high speed. When you lift the beaters, the meringue pulls into pointy peaks that stay that way. At this stage, add the vanilla, and beat just long enough to mix it in. Using the back of a spoon, spread the meringue over a hot pie filling, first spreading around the rim of the pie and then filling in the center. Use the spoon to smooth the meringue. Make sure to seal the edges by spreading the meringue to the edges of the pastry. Use the back of the spoon to pull the meringue up into peaks all over the pie. Put the pie in the oven, do not let it sit. Use this basic meringue recipe for any pie. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Bake the pie with meringue topping for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let pie cool before slices and serving.

Tips for Making Paula Deen's Creamy Pineapple Meringue Pie:

- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. Fresh pineapple has a brighter, sweeter taste than canned pineapple. - If you don't have time to make your own pie crust, you can use a store-bought one. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions. - Don't overcook the egg yolks. Overcooked egg yolks will become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are thick and creamy. - Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will become dry and stiff. Beat them just until they form soft peaks. - Bake the pie until the meringue is golden brown. This will ensure that the meringue is cooked through and has a slightly crispy texture.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Creamy Pineapple Meringue Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling, sweet pineapple chunks, and fluffy meringue topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
