25 min | 20 min prep
1 pie
- 3 egg whites
- 3 tablespoons ice water or shaved ice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Place the egg whites, ice water and baking powder in a medium bowl and beat vigorously with wire whisk or electric mixer until egg whites are very stiff.
- Test with a fork; if the fork will stand up vertically in the whites, the mixture has been beaten sufficiently.
- Now fold in each Tablespoon of sugar gradually.
- When all the sugar has been added, whip the mixture again until stiff.
- When covering the pie with the meringue, make sure that the crust is covered and sealed at the pastry edges to prevent weeping.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake pie for at least 5 but not over 7 minutes. Be careful to watch the baking time for the degree of brownness desired.
- Cool on wire rack, and refrigerate as usual.
