- Preheat oven to 250 °F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or brown paper and lightly draw circles on it with a pencil.

- Mixture should be stiff and glossy. Do not beat until dry.
- Spoon the meringue into a pastry bag with a ¼ inch plain or star tip or use a spoon.
- To make the meringues, pipe or spoon out meringue onto the parchment following the outling of each circle.
- Bake the meringues on the middle oven rack until just lightly browned, about 8–10 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and leave the meringues in it, with the door closed, for about an hour.
- Use at once or store in a very tightly covered container for up to a day
