Extra Notes

This 3-egg-shite recipe makes an adequate amount of meringue but you can use extra egg whites.  When you do 4-egg-yolk-whites you will have more than enough meringue, just in case you like a think meringue.  If you use 4 you will need 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter, and a 1/2 sugar.  You will need to beat the mixture longer.
