Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 120°C (250°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
4. Gently fold in the cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla extract until just combined.
5. Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round disk with a slight indentation in the center.
