Making meringue!

Separate egg whites from the yolk.  I do one at at time onto a plate. I let the yolk land in my hand and separate the
egg white through my fingers. Put one egg white into the bowl (not plastic, make sure the bowl is free of oil! grease.You can use the egg shell but a jagged edge could pierce the yolk.

I add cream of tartar or lemon juice, beat til foamy then slowly add sugar while beating.
