Method :
- Preheat the oven to 110oC/225oF/Gas

- Beat the egg whites and salt in a
metal bowl. When they start to form soft peaks, add half the sugar and

remaining sugar and vanilla or almond essence, if using.

in another place on the sheets to prevent sticking.

cream and use to fill the meringues.
