Meringue
3 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 to 1/3 cup white sugar
In a cold copper bowl (not necessary but it sure helps) beat the whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar a little bit at a time beating until the meringue forms stiff peaks and is glossy in appearance.
