MERINGUE: Preheat oven to 200F and line two 17 x 11 inch cookie sheets with parchment.

Using springform pan bottom as guide, trace 2 circles on each parchment sheet. Invert parchment.

Finely grind nuts and 1 tablespoon of sugar in processor.

Gently fold in nut mixture.

Spoon meringue into large pastry bag fitted with ½ inch plain round tip.

Pipe dab of meringue UNDER parchment at corners to secure fit to cookie sheets.

Starting at the center of 1 circle, pipe meringue in a circular motion to form a solid coil and fill circle.
