Preparation
- Preheat oven to 275° F.
- Lightly butter and flour two large cookie sheets.
- In a large bowl, let the egg whites warm to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
- With electric mixer at high speed, beat egg whites with cream of tartar, salt and vanilla until soft peaks form when beater is slowly raised.
- Gradually beat in granulated sugar two teaspoons at a time, until very stiff peaks form. Mixture should be moist and shiny.
