minutes). Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Meringue:
(Note: if you are using a copper bowl, omit cream of tartar, you’ll get
pavement instead of meringue. The chemical reaction between the bowl and
the egg does the same thing as the cream of tartar.)
Beat egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar until mixture holds stiff
peaks. Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until very
stiff and glossy. All sugar must be dissolved.
Makes a great dessert after a big ol’ plate of barbecue.
