    Default Meringue Powder

    A lot of professional bakers use meringue powder. It is dried egg whites and you add water, You can find it at a cake decorating supply.

    Another pointer--egg whites set up better at room temp. So don't try to beat egg whites right out of the fridge. Hope this helps.

    The cooked cornstarch mixture works for me.
