Cream Of Tartar In Italian Merengue...bitter?
Decorating By Jopalis Updated 14 Dec 2006 , 8:37am by JanH
I have been reading how some folks prefer to use powdered egg whites instead of merengue powder and how some feel the cream of tartar can make icings bitter. I was thinking about doing an Italian merengue butter cream and when I saw the cream of tartar in it I kind of wondered if this is a problem.... Will it be bitter?
You can substitute (usually 1/8 tsp). white vinegar per egg white, if you don't want to use the cream of tartar in your meringue:
