Meringue

  • 4 large egg whites
  • ¼ teaspoon of cream of tartar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Mix the condensed milk, egg yolks and lemon juice together in a bowl and pour into the pie crust.
  • With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and cornstarch and beat until peaks are stiff. Beat in the vanilla.
