Submitted by YummySmellsca

"Crispy on the outside, marshmallowy on the inside, these vanilla meringues were a hit at school! Serve drizzled with raspberry and/or lemon sauce for mock pavlova."

3. Whip the egg whites and cream of tartar in a spotlessly clean bowl with electric beaters until soft peaks form.

6. Using a teaspoon, drop meringue onto prepared trays 1” apart.
