How can I prevent meringue from weeping or forming little droplets on the surface?
A meringue will leak or weep if the meringue is spread on the cream pie when the filling is not hot. Be prepared so the meringue is ready and the filling is hot at the same time. Place the filling into the baked pie crust and immediately top with the meringue. Also quick cooling of the pie causes beading on meringues. Cool very slowly in a turned-off oven. Keep the oven door ajar.
