Bonnie Winograd’s Meringues

Set the oven at 200F. Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Add the sugar and vanilla essence and beat for another 3 minutes.

On baking trays with wax paper, spoon the meringue mix in golf ball-size blobs spread out evenly on the tray (you can also pipe the meringue mix into little meringues).

Place in the oven for 5 hours.
