Place on sheet pan, turning over so that the ink is toward the pan but you can still see the circle. Set aside. With an electric mixer, beat egg whites on medium speed until broken up. Sift in cornstarch. Continue beating on medium until foamy. Stream in sugar slowly. Increase speed to high. Beat until medium stiff peaks form. Add cream of tartar and vanilla.
