Meringue, the topping my mother lovingly referred to as "Calf Slobber!" Hope everyone is having a great Monday. 😊🙏😊🙏😊🙏

[@duckbilledmonfrogga]

That is the cutest thing, ever!!!

[@terrilawson812]

My husband has always called it calf slobbers too. He worked on his sister’s dairy farm when he was young and where I’m sure he saw many calves after nursing.

[@SuperWoodyboy]

If you use a knife dipped in HOT water for every cut...your meringue won't tear. BEAUTIFUL pie Tammy!

[@RannPatterson]

I didn’t know that, thanks! Makes sense though since it’s sweet and sticky. It’s my favorite topping!

[@gloriaharris8636]

Thanks 👍

[@Raynestorm1968]

Thank you for the video. I have been avoiding making lemon meringue pie for a very long time because every single time I made it my meringue weeped and got the sugar drops and just went all chewy and nasty. I will be trying this right away and have myself a beautiful lemon meringue pie for Xmas!

[@Tawanalynn]

I wish somebody would show their “no weep” meringue pies after they start to cool down. I’ve tried everything I’ve ever seen on this subject. My pies do great initially but as they cool…..they start crying…..and so do I……..!! 😢😢

[@mariecrawford483]

I agree you never see them after a good cool down. I bake for people so my pies cannot be eaten right away. I’m still on the hunt for a perfect meringue.

[@donnastandley8056]

Same

[@aspencer129]

Same 😭 Every. Single. Time. I've tried different ways and me and the pie still end up weeping lol. But I will try this and see if it works for me. I have several people wanting to buy some pies from me but I can't bear the thought of the presentation of it with the pie weeping/beading then when they cut it, it pools.. ugh! I'll come back with an update lol

[@hanscraig1850]

I found a trick for meringue that i would never have believed if i had not tried it,,,For 4 egg whites, add a half tsp cream of tarter, whip to a fluff, and add 1 seven ounce jar marshmallow cream,beat until stiff, its perfect and never weeps, I know it sounds strange but its perfect For a lemon pie I add a tsp lemon flavoring, for chocolate a tsp vanilla and for coconut a tsp coconut flavoring, I found this from a lady on youtube named Faye Thompson,

[@rharding4646]

Fabulous tip

[@curtriceennis2924]

The cornstarch tip is a new one for me. When you said what you did about overbeating the meringue, it made me remember how I've seen other videos which state when you add vinegar or lemon juice to your meringue, you can't overbeat it any. I'm now wondering if that is so. 🤪 I'm wanting to make some meringue cookies with chopped pecans in them, and, will use your techniques here (specially the one where you add cornstarch to your sugar) so they won't have the sugar bubbles as they've had, or, weep as they sometimes have done in the past when I've made them. TYSM for sharing this video with us . Lotsa good tips about making meringue. 👍

[@vanessacornwell247]

Thank you for the cornstarch tip! I have become very discouraged making pies with meringue. My meringue was always beautiful but would weep terrible into the pie. I will give this a try! God Bless!

[@janredfern3218]

Adding the 2 teaspoons of cornstarch to your meringue is what I’m going to consider the best tip of the year thank you for sharing this information always enjoy your show. St. Mary’s Georgia was on national news this past Sunday. Something about a man sitting by the ocean and people walking by and telling them him their problems. You must have chosen a very beautiful place to move to the scenery looked lovely.

[@julieparker2984]

Tammy, you looked beautiful and your hair is outstanding! You always give such great advice and tips! Thanks 🥰

[@sheilarobertson9717]

Perfect! My husband has been asking for lemon meringue pie, great timing🥰

[@zzzzipy12]

There is a restaurant near me that serves pies with mile high meringue, I bet they use corn starch! Beautiful pie!

[@lindaseel8633]

This is the best meringue tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you so much! I saved this so I can do this. B.T. W. Your hair is gorgeous!

[@sandystephens8979]

Thanks for such a great tip Tammy! Never thought to put cornstarch in with my sugar. Can’t wait to make a pie to try it out!

[@louisianalady7105]

A lovely work of both art and science! You're amazing! Thank you for sharing your talents, skills, and knowledge with us! 💕

Nothing is better for a cream pie....thanks for this great tip!

Yipeee! I followed your recipe and made a beautiful meringue for my chocolate pie. First time I've ever been successful with meringue. Thank you!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Great job!

[@linnettethomas1961]

Thank you. You've. . answer my questions about the weepting and the meringue also being hard.

[@karenlundy3558]

I can't wait to try this...Mine always weep and it is so frustrating. Thank you for showing us exactly how it's done...by the way you have the most beautiful hair....Love from Alabama💖💖💖💖💖

[@karrynunya2913]

This video gave me flashbacks of a beautiful meringue pie I cooked years ago... I took it to grandma's for Christmas dinner. I rang the bell... she answered. As soon as she opened the door and I was about to walk in... i dropped that damn pie right in the doorway.😲😱😭😭😟🤬

[@cjmcdowell1904]

Tammy no pressure but I’m looking forward to PB & J cake

[@mirib5007]

Tammy, I just tried this. It turned out good, but I think I started adding my sugar a little too soon. I did use about 3-4 drops of lemon juice because I didn’t have cream of Tatar. Good tip. . I’m a big fan! I watch your videos and crochet, get hungry, then hit the kitchen!

[@kimhoneycutt6258]

Hello from Lexington, North Carolina!❤ You make a beautiful meringue!! I'm more of a whipped topping person but that sure looks delicious!😋😊❤

Beautiful Tammy, love watching you cook anything.

I am the only one around here who likes meringue so I don’t make it. Maybe I can make me a little one, or a big one and eat it all myself 🤣🤣. Thank you Tammy 💕

[@terryl2075]

How much time do you let your pie cool with the meringue topping before you refrigerate it? Thank you.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Until it is room temp

[@bjohnson150]

That's an amazing looking pie my friend!! I tried a meringue top & it looked like the "Trona pinnacles"- yikes!😆😆😆

[@MommaLueck]

I just made an old fashioned raisin pie... I made a meringue In stead of a double crust...guess I over beat it... I thought I was gonna baul it doesn't look pretty at all... I will keep practicing using your recipe. Thank you

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Oh no! Yes just practice and you will get a better feel for it.

[@MommaLueck]

@@CollardValleyCooks I will. Thank you for your reply. Hope you are feeling a lil better.

Good morning sweetie ... I’m glad u uploaded this content again... I learn better by watching so this is perfect ... thank you .. love ya 💓💓

[@patriciayoung8602]

When did you add the vanilla?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I did not in the meringue I only added it in the pudding

[@tonipartington5245]

Your Meringue looks amazing. Can you give me the recipe of your pie. Thank you Tammy

The video she posted yesterday had this pie recipe it was a pineapple cream pie that looked awesome…💞💕

[@deewinston5651]

Such a helpful tip. thanks Tammy!

[@BelindaShanle]

I love your stove, what brand is it? Perfect meringue! Thank you

[@CollardValleyCooks]

It is a Kitchen Aid and I do not recommend it to anyone

[@fredwiley3731]

@@CollardValleyCooks We have had good luck with a GE, all electric glass top. Two years and no problems. Oven heats accurate and evenly. DO NOT purchase at BIG BOX STORES. Models are made cheaper for them to sell at a lower price point. Purchase from a local Appliance Store only that is a genuine dealer in good appliances. They try to sell quality because they do not want complaints and call backs. I made your BANANA Pudding for Sunday guest. It was a hit, but my meringue was not perfect. First try, though. Thanks Tammy!

Thank you! It came out beautifully but I didn’t know where to put the vanilla. And I didn’t wanna take any chances. But I don’t remember when you used the vanilla

[@loreehunt8338]

Was never mentioned

I know. Vanilla was introduced in beginning but never mentioned again🤷🏻‍♀️

That is a great looking pie. I am adding that one to my collection. You are looking super cute today. Grandma Sue in central Indiana and Izzi Too

[@mom2blessings_sadie]

I want to make the pie Two days prior to eating will it he tasty???

[@CollardValleyCooks]

It will taste fine but the meringue wil weep by then

[@mom2blessings_sadie]

@CollardValleyCooks oh so if I make it the day before will it wheel by the next day? Could I make the lemon n meringue the day off???

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I would do it the day before it should be okay@@mom2blessings_sadie

[@knowbettertv]

I was in the middle of making banana pudding for a friend when I saw this trick. She adores meringue on top so I didn't want to mess this up. It came out perfectly and she loved it 😊 Thanks for another winner, Tammy! ❤🎉🎉🎉❤

Sounds great!

When do you add the vanilla and how much?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I do not but you could add 1/2 tsp while mixing

[@evangelineking3930]

You just said in your video while showing us the meringue ingredients that you'll be using vanilla. ?? Oh, and great video. Can't wait to try it.

[@monachase9106]

Meringue powder works on the same basis I would guess BUT I am in agreement with Tam.

[@dianehogan3306]

Looks great!! You only used 3 egg whites?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

4

[@ambermartinez2616]

You're such a pretty lady! Thank-you!

[@stephaniehillier4944]

Did you add the vanilla? You said it's part of the ingredients but I didn't see you add it and it's not in the ingredients list. Also at the beginning of the video you mentioned you will add 2 tsps of cornstarch to your 1/4 tsp of sugar butt I'm guessing you meant to say 1/4 cup?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Yes

[@stephaniehillier4944]

@@CollardValleyCooks yes to what? That's not much of a response to someone asking questions on your video 🤷

Good video. Just curious, if the pie lasted until the next day was there weeping?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Probably was, but this was a long time ago so I don't remember

[@rapunzeleh546]

why not just use confectioners sugar - it already has cornstarch in it.

Why does my meringue always shrink?

[@meloneycrews]

I’ve always heard you must spread it and touch the crust all the way around for it not to shrink, and I do that and never had mine shrink! Although Tammy may have a different answer.💞💕
