INGREDIENTS

• For 9-inch Pie:
• 3 egg whites
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 6 Tbl. sugar
• 1/2 tsp. flavoring (optional)
• For 8-inch Pie:
• 2 egg whites
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 4 Tbl. sugar
• 1/4 tsp. flavoring (optional)

DIRECTIONS

• (Note: egg whites should be at room temperature to whip up fluffy, but eggs separate easier when cold.)
• Beat egg whites with salt until frothy.
• Then beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until meringue is stiff and glossy. The meringue is ready for use when the sugar is dissolved and the meringue is stiff enough to hold a peak, yet still looks moist.
• Add flavoring, vanilla for example, if desired. Beat only enough to blend.
