Authentic French Meringues~ Denise Gatherum/internet

4 egg whites
2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
preheat oven to 200 deg
Butter and flour a baking sheet
In a glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy using and electric mixer. Sprinkle in sugar a little at at time, while continuing to whip at a med speed. When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny like satin, stop mixing and transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag. Pip the meringue out onto the prepared baking sheet using a large round tip or star tip.
Place the meringues in the oven and place a wooden spoon handle in the door to keep it from closing all the way. Bake for 3 hours, or until the meringues are dry, and can easily be removed from the pan. Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
