Pavlova

6 egg whites, at room temperature (very important!)
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1 c. sugar

Line two large cookie sheets with foil.

In bowl with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks.  Slowly add sugar a little bit at a time until dissolved and whites stand in stiff, glossy peaks.

Preheat oven to 275 F.  Spread meringue onto pans.  Bake 1 hour or until golden.  Turn off heat, crack open oven door, and leave in oven for at least 2 hours before removing.
