Preheat the oven to 150C/300F and line two baking sheets with baking parchment.
Whisk the egg whites in a grease-free bowl, using an electric whisk, until very stiff.
Add caster sugar, a little at a time, whisking after each addition until the meringue is very stiff and glossy.
Whisk in the corn flour, vinegar and vanilla extract.
Using a teaspoon, mound the mixture into snowballs on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Cool on the baking sheets, and then remove the snowballs from the paper with a metal spatula.
