1/4 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 tsp cream or tartar

to room temperature.

Sift together
powdered sugar, potato starch, and cornstarch, set
aside. Measure granulated sugar and set aside.

Combine egg whites,
cream of tartar, salt and lemon peel in large mixing
bowl. With mixer at high, beat until mixture forms
soft peaks. Continue beating and add the granulated
sugar slowly. Beat until sugar is dissolved and forms
stiff peaks.

With rubber spatula,
gently fold in the powdered sugar mixture about 1/4 at
a time, folding just enough so the powdered sugar
mixture disappears.

or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool
