- 0.5 カップboiling water

作り方
手順
- 1
In a small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until no lumps remain.
約1 分
調理のヒント: Making a smooth slurry now prevents lumps in the final mixture.
- 2
Carefully pour the boiling water into the saucepan while whisking constantly.
約1 分
- 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear, about 2-3 minutes.
約3 分
調理のヒント: The mixture will go from cloudy to translucent as the cornstarch cooks.
- 4
Remove the cornstarch gel from the heat and transfer it to a small bowl. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and let it cool completely to room temperature.
約30 分
調理のヒント: The gel must be completely cool before adding it to the egg whites, otherwise it will deflate them.
- 5
In a very clean, dry mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites, salt, and optional cream of tartar on medium speed until foamy.
約2 分
調理のヒント: Any trace of grease or yolk in the bowl will prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
- 6
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition.
約4 分
調理のヒント: Adding the sugar slowly allows it to dissolve completely, resulting in a smooth, not gritty, meringue.
- 7
Continue beating until the meringue is thick, glossy, and holds soft peaks when the beaters are lifted. Beat in the vanilla extract.
約3 分
- 8
Add the completely cooled cornstarch gel to the meringue.
約1 分
- 9
Beat on high speed until the meringue is very stiff, glossy, and holds firm peaks.
約2 分
調理のヒント: The meringue is ready when you can turn the bowl upside down without it sliding out.
- 10
Spread the meringue immediately over your pie filling, ensuring it touches the crust all around, and bake according to your pie recipe, typically at 175°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
調理のヒント: Sealing the meringue to the crust prevents it from shrinking away from the edges as it bakes.
