Ingredients
4 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
A pinch of salt
Instructions

2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt on medium speed until they become frothy.
3. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
4. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
5. Gently fold in the vanilla extract.
6. Using a spoon or piping bag, shape the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the meringues easily lift off the parchment paper and sound hollow when tapped.
