Ingredients
- 4 large egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Servings: 9-inch pie
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), beat the egg whites until foamy, about 1 minute. Beat in the cream of tartar. Slowly add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating after each addition until the sugar dissolves. Continue beating until the egg whites form stiff peaks, about 6 minutes.
