Püf Noktaları
To achieve the perfect meringue, ensure your mixing bowl is completely clean and free of grease. Avoid overbeating the egg whites; you want them to be stiff but still shiny and smooth. When adding the meringue to the filling, use gentle folding motions to maintain the airiness. Once baked, let the dessert cool gradually to prevent the meringue from cracking.
