For the best results, use fresh, room-temperature egg whites. This helps them whip up to a greater volume. Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease. Even a small amount of fat can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. Adding the sugar gradually is key to creating a stable and smooth meringue. Avoid overbaking the meringue, as it can become dry and brittle. Watch it carefully and remove it from the oven as soon as it's golden brown.
