Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 4 egg whites
- white sugar: twice the weight of the whites (about 260 g)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Step by step
- Put the whites and sugar together over a bain-marie. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved when you touch the mixture.
- Transfer it to a very clean mixer bowl and start whisking. As it starts to thicken, add the lemon juice while still whisking, and keep going until it's as firm as you want.
