How do I know how much sugar should I add in the Italian merengue?

@@zaily348 In the recipe she uses 340g. 17:28 You didn't ask about calculating for sugar substitutes, but re-visiting my comment a year later, I realize that it might be useful for anyone who happens to see this. If you're using something else that has sugar in it, like honey or syrup, I think what you can do is look at the nutrition label, specifically at the number of carbs by weight, and you're trying to get 340g grams of carbs for this recipe. The carbs will tell you how much sugar is in it, and the rest is basically water weight. Water weight doesn't matter too much because when you boil to a specific temperature, you're basically dialing in a specific water-sugar ratio. So if you know the amount of sugar is the same, and the temperature is the same, the amount of water remaining is the same. It might vary a _little_ bit from one type of sugar to another (glucose, fructose, sucrose, etc.) but it's probably a good starting point. So let's say we're doing half granulated sugar, half honey. Half of 340g is 170g, so we want 170g of granulated sugar, and 170g of sugar from honey. Since honey isn't pure sugar, this doesn't mean we use 170g of honey. This is the part with the math. Checking the nutrition label on the specific honey we're using, it says there are 17g of carbohydrates in a 21g serving. 17/21 gives us 0.81 grams of sugar per gram of honey. So we take the 170g figure, for the amount of sugar we're trying to get, and we divide it by 0.81 to get 210g of honey. So 210g of honey and 170g of granulated sugar gives us the 340g of total sugar. Although the honey already has some water in it, some additional water might be useful to prevent the sugar at the bottom from burning as the mixture heats up.

What I used to do is was measuring the eggs whites and then 3 time the amount of sugar, like 120 gr of eggs whites, and 360 gr sugar. It’s that wrong?

Is Superfine sugar exactly equal to regular castor sugar for measuring purposes?
