Meringues - six tiny eggs how much sugar?

5 replies

I have six tiny eggs that weigh 55g each, I know that a large egg weighs 62g.
My recipe for 3 large eggs says 175 g of caster sugar. Do you think I should go with 300g sugar rather than 350g?
My guests are very casual and wont be too upset if the pavlova is not perfect.

Each egg white takes a large heaped serving spoon of granulated white sugar. If you haven't got a serving (table) spoon then use two heaped (as much as you can hold) dessert spoons for each egg white.

Meringues take a lot of sugar to stabilise.

55g is a medium egg and my advice is based on medium eggs.

Convert your recipe into parts. You have 1 part egg white to 0.75 parts sugar. Almost 50/50

Double the weight of the sugar to the weight of the egg whites.

Thank you all. I've gone with 320g of sugar.
