2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a pencil to draw 9 circles, 7 cm in diameter, on the parchment paper. Spoon the meringue into a piping bag and pipe concentric circles starting from the center of each drawn circle. Add two extra rings of meringue around the edges to form a basket shape. Bake for 2 hours, until the meringues are firm and crisp. Let cool completely.
