1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Get out a large baking sheet and line with parchment paper. Grease parchment very slightly.

Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in a clean, dry large bowl on medium high speed until they hold soft peaks. Beat in the cream of tartar. Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the whites are thick and glossy but not dry. Add vanilla and beat briefly.

Using a large rubber spatula, drop blobs on parchment. Smooth into a large flat circle about 11 inches in diameter. Flare the edges upward, creating sidewalls.

Place the tray on the center oven rack and bake, without opening the oven, until shell has a medium-golden color and a good crisp exterior, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven. Let the pie shell cool in closed oven for 1 hour.

Carefully transfer shell on the paper, to a cooling rack. Let cool thoroughly, and then fill and serve. If not using immediately, wrap well in plastic and store at room temperature.
