Reply to "Wilton Meringue Powder - Recipe and Ratio Don't Match"

HI, I'm not sure I'm understanding your question. Meringue powder has other stuff besides egg white powder in it, so it's not surprising to me that more of it (by volume, vs. egg white powder) is required to equate to one egg white. But I'm not sure why their recipe would require an even higher ratio. Typically for 500g of sugar I would add about 2 1/2 whites, so if they called for 3 whites (or 6 tsp powder to 6 tbsp water per the first formula), that would make some sense to me. But they are calling for 9 tsp powder to 6 Tbsp water - I can't explain why the ratio would be different in the recipe . . .
