Tips :

❤️Make sure  your whisk attachment  and your bowl is clean and Free of any grease ,oil or water.

❤️Make sure the egg whites are free from any yolk.

❤️Add cream of tartar to stabilize your Egg whites.

If you don’t have cream of tartar use 1/4 teaspoons of vinegar or 1/4lime juice,it will give you roughly the same results.it won’t give you the same results but similar

❤️Don’t rush adding the sugar,I recommend pouring one tablespoon at a time,beat well after each addition to combine.this will help you achieve a silky ,smooth texture.

❤️ When you add the vanilla essence it will change the color so you can leave it or add Almond essence for a flavor.
