American meringue

[English]

A type of meringue made with cornflour (US: corn starch) mixed with meringue Suisse, that is meringue which has half the sugar incorporated during beating and the other half folded in. It is then cooked faster than normal for a shorter time, resulting in a glossy meringue with a crisp outside and a soft, sticky interior. It is used for pavlovas.
