Part 4/7:

Before whipping the egg whites, it's advisable to clean your mixing bowl with a bit of lemon juice or vinegar to freeze any greasy residue. Add the egg whites to your stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, along with 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of cream of tartar to help stabilize the mixture.

Mixing to Perfection

Start by whipping the egg whites on low speed until they become frothy. Gradually increase the speed to medium and slowly add the reserved sugar one tablespoon at a time. By doing this, you allow the sugar to dissolve fully, ensuring a smooth consistency. After about 5 minutes, the egg whites should reach soft, glossy peaks, signaling they are ready for the next step.
