Here's a recipe from the board that is no more, with thanks to Canuck and Kooky.
Ingredients:
- 4 large (120 grams) egg whites
- 1 cup (200 grams) superfine (caster) sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch (corn flour)
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (130 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a 7 inch (18 cm) circle on the paper.
- in the bowl of your electric mixer beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until they hold soft peaks.
- Start adding the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and continue to beat until the meringue holds very stiff peaks.
- gently fold in cornstarch and vinegar with rubber spatula
- spread the meringue inside the circle drawn on the parchment paper, smoothing the edges, making sure the edges of the meringue are slightly higher than the center.
- Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until the outside is dry and takes on a very pale cream color. Turn the oven off, leave the door slightly ajar, and let the meringue cool completely in the oven.
