Thrifty Meringues

2 Egg whites
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 tesspoon cornflour
2 tablespoons boiling water

Beat egg whites until stiff.
Gradually add 1/2 the sugar, beating all the time.
Fold in the rest of the ingredients.
Drop small spoonfulls on to a tray lined with baking paper.
Bake at 170 for 10mins, then 130 for 30 mins, or til done.
Cool in oven with door open.

Sandwich 2 together with butter icing, and place in cup cake papers

Butter icing.
Cream 2 ounces butter with 3-4 ounces of icing sugar.
Beat until it goes pale. This will stick the meringues together better than whipped cream.
Tastes great too!
