Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Butter and flour a baking sheet.
Whip egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy using an electric mixer. Sprinkle in sugar a little at a time
while continuing to whip at medium speed. When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny like satin
stop mixing and transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag. Pipe meringue out onto the prepared baking sheet using a large round tip or star tip.
Place meringues in the preheated oven. Put a wooden spoon handle in the door to keep it from closing all the way.
Bake until meringues are dry and can easily be removed from the pan
about 3 hours. Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
