Meringue Weeping Ruined My Desserts Until I Found These Fixes

Those annoying water droplets forming on your meringue? That's called weeping, and it's totally fixable. Pick a dry day to make meringue. Humidity is your biggest enemy here. Use room temperature egg whites. Let them sit out for about 30 minutes before whipping. Dissolve that sugar completely. Rub some meringue between your fingers - if you feel grains, keep mixing. Whip to stiff peaks on high speed. This creates the structure you need. Add a tablespoon of cornstarch while whipping. This absorbs extra moisture and stabilizes everything. Don't overbake it. Shrinking egg whites release more moisture. Serve immediately after making. The longer it sits, the more likely it'll weep. Seriously changed my baking results once I started following these steps religiously. #meringue #bakingtips #dessertfails #Food #Cooking
