Preparation

• Preheat oven to 185 degrees F and grease and flour a pan. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until they become light and frothy.
• Start beating in sugar a little bit at a time. When you have beaten about half of the sugar in, add a pinch of cream of tartar and a drop of vanilla.
• Continue beating in the sugar and beat until the mixture holds stiff peaks and looks shiny and velvety. Scoop the mixture into a piping bag and pipe on the pan as desired.
• Place the pan in the oven and bake for at least 90 minutes and then shut the oven off and leave the meringues in the oven while it is cooling off.
