  5. Draw a 25cm-diameter circle on a large piece of greaseproof paper, then stick it pencil-side down to a baking tray using small blobs of the meringue mix
  6. Spoon the meringue onto the paper, then use the back of a large spoon to spread it out and create a small dip in the centre 
  7. Put in the oven, then reduce the heat immediately to 140°C/fan 120°C/gas 1
  8. Bake for 2 hours 30 minutes, then turn off the oven, open the door and leave for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible
