3 egg whites, room temperature
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. sugar

Combine egg whites, cream of tartar and salt. Beat until stiff glossy peaks form. Meringue should be shiny and moist and all sugar dissolved. Spread over bottom and sides. (You can make fancy edge with a cake decorator, if desired.) Bake in very slow oven at 275 degrees for 1 hour or until light brown and crisp.
