Method
- Heat the oven to 120 °C (250 °F) and draw a circle on a sheet of baking paper as a guide.
- Whisk the egg white to stiff peaks, then add the sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking well after each addition, until thick and glossy.
- Whisk in the cornstarch, vinegar and vanilla just until combined.
- Pile onto the baking paper within the circle, smoothing the sides and slightly hollowing the top.
