- Add the sugar gradually, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip the egg whites.
- Once all of the sugar has been added, continue whipping the egg whites for a few more minutes, until they are very stiff and glossy.
- Pipe the meringue mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
- Bake the meringues in a preheated oven at 200°F for 1 hour, or until they are dry and crisp.
- Let the meringues cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
