Notes
- If you don't feel comfortable using raw eggs, you can place the egg yolks with 1 tbsp sugar over a pot with simmering water and stir continuously until the thermometer reads 160F (70C).
- For the egg whites place the whites, sugar and salt in a heat proof bowl. Place over a pan with simmering water (bain-marie). Whisk constantly, for about 5 minutes, or if you have a thermometer until it reaches 160F (71C). Remove from heat and start mixing on high speed for about 5-7 minutes, until glossy stiff peaks form.
