Meringue Kisses

~ Honestly Yum

Karen at Honestly Yum gives us a great tip for making meringues, she says to “wipe down the whisk attachment and the bowl of a stand mixer with a little vinegar or lemon juice and wipe clean with a paper towel.”  This will insure that no stray oil or grease will prevent your egg whites from reaching their full potential like hers obviously did.
