This is a delicious meringue recipe to use for cream pies. It stacks high. Tips for meringues: Use egg yolks that are at room temperature for better volume in whipping (eggs should be at least 3 to 4 days old). Add meringue to hot filling so the meringue starts cooking from the bottom and you will have less shrinkage and leaking. Be sure to spread your meringue to the pie crust filling any gaps between meringue and crust.
