step 1
For the meringue: In a clean bowl, whip the Eggs (8) Whites until foamy for about 2-3 minutes.
step 2
Slowly beat in the Granulated Sugar (3/4 cup) and continue beating until stiff peaks have formed and the meringue looks silky for about 7-8 minutes. A standing electric mixer with the whip attachment works best! Set aside until needed.
