No Fail Meringue

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon Argo® Corn Starch
1/2 cup cold water
3 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons sugar

Directions:

Mix corn starch and cold water in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until mixture is clear and thick. Remove from heat and cool.

Beat egg whites just until stiff peaks form. Add in salt. Gradually add sugar, beating constantly.

Gradually beat the cooled corn starch mixture into the egg whites.

Spoon meringue on to top of pie or torte, sealing to edges. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 15 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned.

This recipe makes enough meringue to top 1 pie or torte. The corn starch helps to thicken and adds stability (less "weeping").
