Meringue

Carefully separate the whites from the yolks and beat until stiff. Continuously whisking, gradually add the sugar in a thin stream or in 2-3 additions. Beat for 15-20 minutes, being careful not to let the mixture become too thick or glossy..
Spoon or use a pastry bag to spoon the whipped mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place it directly in the oven. The oven should be just lit. Bake for 1.5-2 hours at 100°C (you can crack the oven door and place the baking sheet on the very bottom). You can turn off the top and bottom heat.

Ingredients:

• 4 egg whites
• 1 cups sugar
