Video How to Perfect French Meringue for Macarons

Experience the flavors of this wonderful recipe for French meringue! You'll need fresh egg whites, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar. Start by preparing your mixing bowl—make sure it's clean and dry. Separate the egg whites from the yolks, allowing them to reach room temperature. Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add the granulated sugar for stability. Continue whipping to achieve stiff peaks—this is key for a firm meringue. If you see any air bubbles, gently tap the bowl to release them. Finally, sift in the powdered sugar and fold it in carefully. This delightful meringue is perfect for piping macaron shells or other treats.
