MERINGUE FOR PIE:

1. Use usually 3 egg whites to cover 9" pie.

2. Use 2 level tablespoons granulated sugar to each egg.

3. Beat egg whites stiff. They should be glossy on top and when you invert the bowl, they should remain in place.

4. Fold in the sugar gradually.

5. Bake at 350 degrees for 13 minutes.
