Nut Meringue

Here, cornstarch insulates the meringue from the fat in the nuts, which would otherwise cause it to break down. Easy way to pipe out disks of a particular size: Trace a plate or other object of appropriate size onto parchment paper. The turn the paper over and use the circles as your guide. Start piping in the center and form a tight spiral out to the edge.
