How to Make a Great Meringue
By Fiona Haynes, About.com
Beat the egg whites at high speed, and add the sugar tablespoon by tablespoon. Allow each tablespoon to dissolve before adding the next. This is the most time-consuming part of making meringue. Superfine sugar works best for this. You'll need a 1/4 cup of sugar per egg, so 3/4 cup for 3 egg whites or a 1 cup for 4 egg whites.
