| 6 | large | egg whites | at room temperature |
| 2 1/2 | tablespoons | sugar | |
| 2 1/2 | cups | powdered sugar | sifted, plus more as needed |
| 3/4 | cup | almonds | blanched, ground |
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Cut out three 10-inch parchment paper circles and one 10-inch cardboard circle.
Set the parchment circles on baking sheets.
Beat egg whites to soft peaks and gradually add 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar and continue beating until stiff.
Combine 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and ground almonds; fold into egg whites.
This mixture can now be used to form layers, or designs or whatever your choose.
Simply spoon mixture into a pastry bag fitted with the tip of your choice, and pipe your designs onto parchment paper covered baking sheets.
Dust lightly with powdered sugar (optional)
Then bake the your meringue until crisp and very lightly golden (for designs about a half inch thick, it takes 25 to 30 minutes.)
Cool on the finished baked meringue on racks.

The other night at the restaurant where I work, the executive chef admonished one of the other chefs for not applying enough...
I make this recipe all the time! Big hit every time. If I don't have pecans, I'll use walnut pieces. And sometimes for a more festive look, I'll add chopped marashino cherries. I also mix chocolate chips with butterscotch chips. It's a very versatile recipe that allows for many variations.
