Several hours before serving:

1. Let egg whites stand at room temperature 1 hr.

2. Start heating oven to 350ø F. Butter a 1 1/2-qt. mold or 4 to 6
custard cups; then sprinkle lightly with a little granulated sugar.

3. In large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy; add salt and cream of
tartar; continue beating until soft peaks form; gradually add 1 cup
sugar, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until stiff

custard cups; set in pan of hot water. Bake mold 30 min., custard
cups, 15 min.

5. Unmold at once onto large serving plate or into individual serving
dishes; meringue will shrink slightly. Refrigerate until ready to
