We eat a lot of meringues here. Good basic recipe. I had a lot of trouble getting mine to the dry stage. Took a very long time baking and never quite got there. Now, we don't mind a slightly soft meringue so it was fine with me!

    Yummy... These are very sweet, though. I am thinking you could even cut the sugar to 1/2 cup.
