I don't think it would work either, i imagine you need the grittiness of the sugar but that's only guesswork
we do have a meringue thread ill merge this with later. You should be able to find some meringue recipes with icing sugar but i don't know if you have any or if that helps
Do let us know how you get on

There is a method of making meringue called Italian meringue, where you whip the egg whites into stiff peaks as usual, but you make a syrup by boiling sugar to (I think) 117 degrees and then pouring it onto the beaten egg whites in a thin stream, while still beating. The hot syrup cooks the egg whites and it is very stable. It's a really nice method and useful for lots of stuff.
Anyway I was thinking perhaps you could make a syrup by boiling the honey (maybe with a little bit of water) and using it in the same way. I've never done this though so no guarantees...
I am however pretty sure that trying to replace sugar with honey in a traditional cold meringue method will not work.0 -
Yes, it works! :T

It looks yummy.
Is it light and fluffy inside ( the type you have on lemon meringue pies) or the type that is chewy.

I used 2 egg whites (medium eggs) and 3 ounces of set honey, which I warmed until it was runny enough to drizzle onto the stiffly whipped whites and whisk in. It was baked at gas 1 for an hour.
The result was the most melt-in-your-mouth meringue I have ever made. I don't think it would keep too long as it was so soft, but didn't get the chance to test that as everyone wanted seconds!

Well now I stand corrected! I love that it worked. Will have to mention this to my college tutor (a pastry chef of many year's experience) as I know he'll be dying to try it out for himself
Looks very tasty, I'd have tucked into a slice of that very greedily 0
