Lemon meringue pie.

When making the meringue part, should it rise up when you bake it. I use 3 egg whites with a bit of salt and cream of tartar and whisk them til firm then add 6 tablespoons of caster sugar and continue to whisk another while. But at the end the meringue part is pretty much at the same level as when it went into the oven. Is that the way it should be or should it rise?

nope, it doesn't rise, comes out the same as it went in.

Fold the caster sugar not whisk

[ummmm]

Use a dash of white vinegar to make it chewy.
