Combine the eggs, egg yolk and sugar. Stir and cook in a double boiler until thick.

Make the meringue. Beat the egg whites and water until frothy. Add cream of tartar and whip until stiff. Add sugar slowly then beat in vanilla. Continue beating the meringue for several minutes until it holds its shape well.

Personal Notes:
