Ingredients
- 3 egg whites, room temperature
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp vinegar

- In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff.
- Add Sugar gradually with cream of tartar and keep beating 5 minutes.
- Beat in vanilla and lemon juice.
- Mixture should be stiff and glossy. Do not beat until dry.
- Spoon the meringue into a pastry bag with a ¼ inch plain or star tip or use a spoon.
- To make the meringues, pipe or spoon out meringue onto the parchment following the outling of each circle.
- Bake the meringues on the middle oven rack until just lightly browned, about 8–10 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and leave the meringues in it, with the door closed, for about an hour.
