How to Make Meringue From Powdered Egg White

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large, clean mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar and 2 large egg white powder (approximately 40g; adjust based on the number of egg whites in your powdered egg white package).
  3. Add 2 tablespoons (30ml) of cold water to the bowl. Beat on low-medium speed for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and resembles a thick paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Increase the mixer speed to high. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, ensuring that it's thoroughly incorporated before adding more.
  5. Continue beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form (approximately 5-7 minutes). The meringue should be stiff enough to hold its shape but not dry or crumbly. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  6. Spread the meringue evenly over your hot pie filling, ensuring it reaches the edges of the crust to create a good seal.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned and firm to the touch. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the meringue to fully set.
