If there's oil or water in the bowl, the egg whites won't whip well.

Ingredients

  1. 1Egg whites (fresh ones)
  2. 1Sugar
  3. 1 dashSalt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine eggs whites and a tiny bit of salt in a clean bowl with no oil or moisture. Whip with a handheld mixer on low until the egg whites are mixed.

  2. 2

    Add a little sugar, and beat in at high speed.

  3. 3

    When peaks form, add a third of the remaining sugar. When you add the sugar, the peaks will get soft and fall over, so keep whipping on high speed until stiff peaks form again.

  4. 4

    Repeat Step 3 twice. (If the meringue look crumbly, it's been beaten too much.)

  5. 5

    And there you have soft, glossy meringue!
