Cut six 3 × 22-inch strips of parchment or wax paper. Wrap six 6-ounce ramekins tightly with the strips, creating a collar and using tape to secure it to the ramekin. Set them on a small baking sheet.
Put the egg whites, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and the cream of tartar into a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and turn on to low speed.
Put the remaining sugar and 2 tablespoons water into a small saucepan. Stir with a clean finger to evenly moisten the sugar; wet your finger and wipe down the sides of the pan and place the pot over medium heat. When the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is beginning to bubble, wash down the sides of the pan with a clean pastry brush dipped in cold water to dissolve any sugar crystals on the sides of the pan.
