Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
  2. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add egg whites. Beat on medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar and increase speed to high, whipping until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing. Beat until thick and glossy stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the vanilla extract with a spatula.
