Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. Whip egg whites with a pinch of salt until frothy, gradually add sugar until glossy, stiff peaks form.
  3. Sift powdered sugar, ground almonds, and cornstarch; carefully fold into the whipped egg whites.
  4. Transfer meringue to a piping bag, pipe rounds on trays about 8-10 cm in diameter, spaced evenly.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes until crisp; cool in the oven with the door ajar to prevent cracking.
