Instructions
  1. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Continue beating while adding sugar slowly, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time. Add vanilla and vinegar. Beat until very stiff. Place waxed or brown paper on a cookie sheet and spread mixture in a circle, slightly smaller than desired size. Bake for 1 hour at 275°F (140°C).
