Whites 3 eggs, 3 rounded tablespoonfuls of pulver- ized sugar, any flavoring desiredMeringue. Beat the eggs very stiff, add sugar slowly, and then the flavoring. The only art in having a nice meringue is in the cooking. Don’t put it in a hot oven; don’t try to brown it. Put it in a very moderate oven and let it cook slowly at least half an hour. It will brown evenly in that time if it is turned occasionally, and rise very high and be solid. 3 eggs are enough for one pie or pud- ding, though 2 might do. MRS.
