Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Method

  • Preheat oven to 320°F and line two large baking trays with parchment paper (do not grease).
  • Whisk together the sugars and salt, set aside.
  • Whip the egg whites and cream of tartar in a spotlessly clean bowl with electric beaters until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the sugar mixture, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating constantly for 8 to 10 minutes or until mixture is semi-stiff and glossy.
  • Add vanilla and beat to combine.
  • Using a teaspoon, drop meringue onto prepared trays 1" apart.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until firm but still slightly "marshmallowy" inside.
  • Turn off the oven and cool for 15 minutes, then cool to room temperature.
