Meringue Base
Method
Meringue Preparation
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a circle about 8 inches in diameter to use as a guide.
Whip Egg Whites
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Add Sugar
Gradually add the granulated sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form.
Fold in Dry Ingredients
Gently fold in the cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla extract until just combined.
Shape and Bake
Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared parchment paper within the circle. Create a slight indentation in the center. Bake for about 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the meringue inside to cool completely.
