2. Slowly add the room temperature egg whites and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Using a pastry brush, grease a sheetpan with softened butter.
4. Make a template out of 1/16" thick material. Cutting-out a circle that is 7"-8" in diameter.
5. Place the template over the prepared sheetpan. Spread the batter evenly over the template using a offset spatula, remove the template and repeat.
6. Bake @ 350F for 5 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
