👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Make the Meringue Layers
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper and draw two 8-inch circles as a guide.
- In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, whisking until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold in vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla.
- Spoon the meringue into the circles on the parchment paper and smooth into even layers.
- Bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside with the door ajar — this prevents cracking.
