'''Meringue''' is a [[France|French]] dessert typically made of whipped [[egg white]]s and [[sugar]]. Occasionally, an acidic ingredient such as [[lemon]] juice or [[vinegar]] may be added, as well as a binding agent such as [[salt]], [[flour]], or [[gelatin]]. The key to acquiring the perfect meringue is forming stiff peaks by [[Denaturation|denaturing]] [[ovalbumin]] (a [[protein]] in the egg whites) via shearing.
