Ingredients:
2 egg whites
4 oz caster sugar
Method:
Beat egg whites until stiff. Add half the sugar. Beat again until stiff. Add rest of sugar, beat again until stiff. Put a square of greaseproof/baking paper on a baking tray and lightly grease with butter. Spread meringue mixture (and this depends how artistic you're feeling!) you can either just do a disc about 8 or 9 inches in diameter (about 3/4 inch thick) or you can also build up the sides about an inch. Either is fine. Depends whether you feel like feedling. My oven is a vicious fan oven so I cook it for about one hour fifteen at just under 100 c. This is equivalent to about 140 on a non fan - better too low than too high as you don't want it brown. It's really just a question of suck it and see. When it peels off the greaseproof easily, should be done. If I am expecting a load of greedisons, I use three eggwhites and 6 ozs sugar.
