1/2 tsp    vanilla  
1/4 tsp    cream of tartar plus one pinch

In mixing bowl combine egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tartar. Beat with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating the meringue until stiff and glossy peaks form and all the sugar is dissolved. To use with pie.... Spread meringue over the hot pie filling; carefully seal all around edges of the pastry so that there will be no shrinking by making sure meringue touches the pie shell. Place Pie in oven preheated to 350° until peaks are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool.
