• 1 qt. Egg Whites.
• 2 drops Acided Acid.

Beat whites steadily, changing hands frequently, until stiff. Then add about 2 tablespoonfuls of Sugar and beat again, adding 2 more spoonfuls of Sugar in a few minutes, after which beat until thoroughly stiff. Now add balance of sugar. A few drops of Lemon Juice will make the egg whites come up quickly. Whites that have been allowed to stand 24 hours come up better than when freshly opened.
