Instructions

Preheat the oven to 275 F and a line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Equipment you will use

Baking Paper

Baking Sheet

Oven

In a clean glass bowl, use an electric hand beater (or, alternatively, an electric mixer and the whisk attachment) to whip the egg whites to "soft peaks". (Take care to assure that all of the utensils and the bowl are very clean. Greasy residue on a bowl can greatly inhibit this process. The whites will start to gain volume but still seem somewhat yielding in texture.)

Ingredients you will need

Egg Whites

Equipment you will use

Hand Mixer

Whisk

Bowl

Beat in the cream of tartar and then start to add the 1 cup of sugar in small increments. When all of the sugar has been incorporated, whip until "stiff peaks" form. The texture of the whites should be firm and they should look glossy.
