1
Put the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer, and set the mixer on low speed (you want to whip the whites just until foamy).
2
While the whites are slowly whipping, swirl 1/3 cup water and the sugar in a medium-size heavy saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
3
Then raise the heat to medium-high and boil without stirring until the mixture registers 235F on a candy thermometer and is the texture of corn syrup.
4
Remove the pan from the heat.
5
Once the egg whites are foamy, add the cream of tartar to them and beat until soft peaks form.
6
With the mixer running, add the hot syrup in a slow, steady stream.
7
Beat until the whites are stiff and glossy and cool to the touch.
8
Use the meringue immediately.
