Meringue Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whip the Egg Whites
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
Add Cream of Tartar
Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
Incorporate Sugar
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Add Vanilla
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Shape the Meringue
Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a round shape about 8 inches in diameter.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the meringue is dry to the touch. Turn off the oven and let the meringue cool inside with the door ajar.
