There isn't really any way to fix runny meringue after it's been prepared, but for thick meringue from the start, follow these instructions.
1) Beat three egg whites (room temperature) until foamy.
2) GRADUALLY add 6 tablespoons of sugar, beating until mixture is glossy and stiff.
3) Add 1 pinch salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract*.
4) Slowly pour in the 'cold cornstarch' mixture**, beating vigorously for several minutes.
This creates a fluffy, thick meringue that's perfect for any pie.
* - Orange zest/juice or lemon zest/juice can also be added instead of vanilla as a flavor enhancer.
** - I was taught to always add this 'cold cornstarch' mixture, because it works as a sort of "stabilizing agent". It's very simple to create. Just mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water. Add one half cup boiling water, and then simmer until thick and clear. Let cool completely before adding to meringue.
