Whip up the meringue

Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is thick and glossy.

Shape and bake

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon the meringue mixture onto it, forming a 9-inch (23cm) circle with a slight indentation in the center. Bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours or until the meringue is crisp and dry. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
