Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment. Using a cake pan or a ruler, trace a 9-inch square on each piece of parchment.
- Whisk walnuts, 3/4 cup superfine sugar, the confectioners' sugar, and salt.
- With an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup superfine sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in walnut mixture with a spatula. Spread batter evenly onto traced squares on parchment, and smooth tops.
- Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Turn off oven, and let cool in oven until completely dry, about 75 minutes.
- Carefully peel meringue layers from parchment, and let cool completely on wire racks.

[email protected]These layers were a bit too dry for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough whipped cream. Next time, I'll add more.
