    Beat the egg whites with an electric beater until soft peaks form. Add the caster sugar, a spoonful at a time, beating until thick and glossy, about 8-10 minutes.

    Using a piping bag with a large nozzle, pipe 6 rounds, about 8cm in diameter, onto the prepared trays. Pipe a second layer of meringue around the edges of each round to form a nest.

    Bake the nests for 1½-2 hours until very dry to the touch, but not coloured. Turn the oven off and leave the nests to cool for a few hours. Store in an airtight container.
