Preheat the oven to 140°C (120°c, gas mark 1) and line 2 flat baking sheets with baking parchment.

Add 1 tablespoon of the sugar and continue to whisk until the mixture comes back to stiff peaks. Repeat this with the rest of the sugar, adding it 1 tablespoon at a time until you have used all the sugar and the meringue is thick and glossy.

Next fit a piping bag with a plain nozzle and spoon some of the meringue into the bag. With the bag pointing downwards and starting at the centre pipe a small circle onto the baking parchment and then pipe a rim around the edge of the circle to make a small ‘nest’. If you’re not confident with a piping bag then just scoop out a tablespoon on meringue, place it on the baking parchment and use the back of a teaspoon to flatten out the centre to make a nest.

Place the meringues in the oven and bake for 1 hour until they are pale golden in colour are crisp and lift easily from the baking parchment. Open the oven door slightly and leave the meringues in the oven to cool.
