     Ingredients :

 - 2 egg whites

- sugar 120g

( about twice as much of egg white)

- walnut 100g

Directions :

1. Bake walnut 10 mins with the oven 130C° and chop roughly pieces.

2. Preheat the oven 120-130C°.

3. In a bowl, whip egg whites without sugar until they can hold a soft peak  with an electric mixer. Add 1/3 sugar and continue to whip and then add 1/3 sugar and continue to whip. Add final 1/3 sugar and continue to whip. When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny like satin, stop mixing.

4. Add the walnut and gently mix with spatula.

5. Transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag. Pipe the meringue out onto the baking sheet using a large round tip or use two tea-spoons to drop small amount.

6. Place the meringues in the oven and bake for 1 hour with 120-130℃ and down the temperature 100C° and bake for 1 hour more.
