Yield Makes 7 to 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Combine egg whites, lemon juice, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer. Whip, first on low speed, then slowly progressing to high speed, until soft peaks form, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Slowly sprinkle the sugar a little at a time over the egg-white mixture, and whip until glossy peaks are formed, about 3 minutes.
  • Sift the cornstarch over the meringue, and fold in. Use meringue immediately.
