Imitation vanilla extract is more affordable than pure vanilla.

Separate the yolks from 2 large eggs, keeping only the egg whites.

Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites on low to medium speed until frothy (about 30 seconds).

Add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar and continue mixing until soft peaks form.

Gradually add 1/2 cup of superfine sugar, one teaspoon at a time, while increasing the mixer speed to high until the mixture is shiny and holds stiff peaks.

Mix in a splash of vanilla extract.

Transfer the meringue to a piping bag or spoon it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C).

Bake the meringues for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let them sit inside for an additional 30 to 45 minutes before removing.
