Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 150'C/300"F/Gas 2 and line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper. Whisk the egg whites in a grease-free bowl, using a hand-held electric whisk, until very stiff.

2. Add the caster sugar, a little at a time, whisking until the meringue is very stiff. Whisk in the corn flour, vinegar and vanilla essence.

3. Using a teaspoon, mound the mixture into snowballs on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 30 minutes.

4. Cool on the baking sheets, then remove the snowballs from the paper with a palette knife.

5. Cook's Tip: Make Pineapple Snowballs by lightly folding about 50g/12oz cup finely chopped semi-dried pineapple into the meringue.
