1/4 c. egg whites (approx. 2 egg whites)
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
2/3 c. sugar

Heat oven to 275 degrees. Cover baking sheet with heavy brown paper (grocery sack). Beat egg whites and cream of tartar together until very frothy. Gradually beat in sugar a little at a time. Continue beating until stiff and glossy.

Drop meringue by spoonfuls onto paper. Shape mounds into circles, hollowing out centers with back of spoon. Bake for 40 minutes. When cool, can eat plain, or fill with ice cream and top with fresh fruit or sauce.
