  • 2 t. cornstarch
  • 1 t. white wine vinegar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking tray with baking parchment.
Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until satiny peaks form. Beat in sugar one third at a time until the meringue is stiff and shiny. Sprinkle over the cornstarch, vinegar and vanilla and fold in light. Mound on to paper. Flatten top and smooth sides. Place in oven and immediately reduce heat to 300F and cook for 1 1/4 hours.
