Receta No-Fail Meringue Recipe
Chances are, you’ve had an epic fail with meringue some time in your baking past. I know I have, and it hasn’t just been once or twice. With Costa Rica’s high humidity combined with warm temperatures (and no AC), pulling off successful meringue is a culinary miracle of sorts.
This no-fail meringue recipe worked beautifully for me even on the hottest day. Sitting proudly atop a creamy lemon pie, the golden meringue remained picturesque with no weeping or shrinking for more than 4 hours sitting on the counter. That’s epic, people!
If you’ve been jaded by faulty meringue in the past, you absolutely must try this recipe. I used to be President of the Whipped-Cream-Pie-Topping-Club just for the sake of simplicity and assurance of success. I’ve resigned, and I hope you do too!
