This meringue is made with a sugar syrup and is stabilized by cornstarch. More durable than most meringues. Can be used to top 1 pie, or can be piped onto a baking sheet to make 'nests.'

- In a small saucepan combine 2 tablespoons sugar and cornstarch. Mix well then whisk in water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick and clear. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl combine egg whites, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat until soft mounds form. Gradually add 5 tablespoons sugar, beating well after each addition.
- Continue to beat egg white mixture while slowly pouring in cornstarch syrup. Beat until stiff peaks form.
- Spread meringue on top of pie, or pipe desired shapes onto parchment-lined baking sheet using a large pastry tip.
