1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 c. water

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and cornstarch in small saucepan. Stir in water. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until thick and clear.
Cool.
Beat egg whites, salt and vanilla until soft mounds form.
Add remaining sugar gradually, beating well after each addition. Add cornstarch mixture.

Let pie cool at least 2 hours before cutting.
