Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and draw two 4 inch circles on each parchment. If you wish, sprinkle each circle lightly with a little cornstarch.
2. In the bowl of the KitchenAid® Professional 600 Series Stand Mixer using the wire whisk attachment, begin whipping the egg whites on high speed until stiff, taking care not to over whip till the point of dryness. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time. When the egg whites appear thick and glossy, gently fold in the vanilla, lemon juice and cornstarch.
3. Carefully spoon the meringue into the center of each circle, and spread to the edges, smoothing any peaks and forming a little well in the center of each. This is where the filling will be placed later.
