completely stiff. Add the pinch of salt and continue to whisk, adding a
tablespoon of sugar at a time and whisking until each is completely beaten
in. Add all but onr tablespoon of sugar, by which time the mixture should
be absolutely firm. Fold in the last tablespoon of sugar don't whisk it
to give a nice texture to the meringue. To make individual meringues, spoon
one heaped tablespoon for each meringue onto the baking sheet and bake for
