Ingredients
  

Meringue
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • electric mixer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until they become foamy.
Making the Meringue
  1. Add cream of tartar and continue to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  2. Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and the meringue is smooth and shiny.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Baking
  1. Drop spoonfuls of the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the door slightly ajar for another hour to cool and crisp completely.

Notes

Ensure your bowl and beaters are completely grease-free for best meringue results. Humidity can affect meringues, so bake on a dry day if possible.
