Ingredients
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
0.75 cup granulated sugar
0.5 cup light corn syrup
0.25 cup water
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
0.5 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
1 teaspoon gelatin bloomed in 1 tablespoon water (optional)
Instructions
1. Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are clean and dry—any grease can ruin your egg whites.
2. In the mixing bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until soft peaks form.
3. In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring to a boil without stirring.
4. Heat the syrup to 240°F using a candy thermometer.
5. With mixer on low, slowly pour hot syrup into whipped egg whites.
6. Increase speed to high and whip for 7–10 minutes until thick and glossy.
7. Add vanilla and almond extract (if using) in the last minute of mixing.
8. For extra stability, gently fold in bloomed gelatin.
9. Use immediately or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate.
Notes
Always use a candy thermometer to ensure your syrup hits the correct temperature.
Don’t rush the whipping—give it time to reach full fluffiness.
Cold or greasy tools can ruin the meringue structure.
