1 hand mixer
1 baking paper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 90 ºC.
Clean the lemon, grate the yellow skin and squeeze out the fruit.
Make sure that a bowl and the whisks of the mixer are completely clean and free of grease.
Split the eggs, making sure there is no trace of egg yolk in the protein (the egg yolks are not used).
Put the protein in the fat-free bowl. Add 1 tbsp lemon juice (per 8 pieces), the lemon zest and the granulated sugar.
Beat the egg whites with the mixer until you have a firm and shiny egg white foam.
Sift the icing sugar and the cornstarch over the foam and spatula together.
Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Using 2 tablespoons of scoops of egg white foam, place on the baking sheet with a diameter of approx. 8 cm.
Bake the meringues in the middle of the oven for 4 hours. They must remain as white as possible.
Switch off the oven and allow it to cool in the oven for about 2 hours with the oven door slightly open.
