Method

  1. Beat the egg whites until they are very stiff.
  2. Gradually beat in the cornflour, sugar, vanilla and vinegar.
  3. Top your cupcakes with the meringue icing - you can spread it with a knife or use a piping bag. You will have a better effect if you can get peaks to form.
  4. Grill for just a few minutes so that the peaks start to turn golden brown.
