Method

  1. Preheat oven to 120ºC/Gas mark ½. Line 3 large baking sheets with baking paper.
  2. Place the whites in a bowl and add a pinch of salt and whish until stiff (you should be able to turn it upside down on someone’s head without any movement from the egg whites).
  3. When whisked add in the granulated sugar and mix well. It should begin to look glossy.
  4. Add in the caster sugar and whisk until all the sugar has incorporated and the mixture forms thick peaks.

  8. After, plate them and Enjoy!
