Preheat the oven to 225°F (107°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a clean mixing bowl, add egg whites and a pinch of salt. Whip on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

Gradually add the sugar, about a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip.

Once all the sugar is added, increase the mixer speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold in the vanilla extract with a spatula.

Using a piping bag or a spoon, dollop or pipe the meringue onto the baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, until dry to the touch.
