Directions
To prepare meringue: Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Warm bowl and beaters in warm water, then dry thoroughly.
Beat egg whites with granulated sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Add powdered sugar; blend in quickly and gently by hand.
Transfer meringue to pastry bag (or plastic zip-top bag with ½ inch snipped off one corner).
Pipe strips of meringue onto a baking sheet. Bake for about 1 hour or until meringue is dry.
Break meringue into pieces and set aside.
