Method

1
Whip the egg whites to soft peaks.
2
Gradually beat in the caster sugar, little by little, and continue whipping to form stiff peaks.
3
Fold in the confectioners' sugar and nuts, working carefully to avoid deflating the egg whites.
4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. With a pencil, draw circles of the desired diameter using a plate or cake tin.
Oven
5
Using a pastry bag with a ½-inch plain round tip, pipe a spiral, starting at the centre of the circles, working outward toward the edge forming a disc about ½ inch thick.
6
Bake at 250°F (120°C) until crisp and very lightly browned, 1½ to 2 hours.
