The first step is to beat the egg whites with an electric whisk, adding a little salt. The idea is to make everything well mixed. While continuing to beat, slowly add a little powdered sugar, to mix it completely with the egg whites. You'll see that little by little, you'll get a shiny and somewhat silky appearance.
The second step is to transfer this mixture to a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle. The piping bag is easy to find if you don't have one at home. Buy it and have it left over for another occasion.
The third step is to form the meringues on the baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Be careful to keep the meringues at a suitable distance, especially to allow good circulation of hot air. The meringues should be baked at 100 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes to an hour. The time always varies because it also depends on the oven you have. How do we know when everything is just right? The meringues should be dry, but not browned.
