Preparation

• Preparation:
• Sponge base:
  Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  Separate eggs. Beat egg whites with salt until stiff, then add sugar gradually.
  Add yolks one by one, then gently fold in flour and baking powder.
  Pour into a greased rectangular pan (around 25×35 cm). Bake 10–12 minutes. Let cool.
• Meringue:
  In a saucepan, boil sugar and water for 7–8 minutes until slightly thick (not caramelized).
  In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with lemon juice and salt until stiff.
  While still beating, slowly pour in the hot syrup in a thin stream.
  Continue beating for 10 more minutes until glossy and voluminous.
• Assembling:
  Spread meringue over the cooled sponge. Smooth the top.
  Let rest for at least 2–3 hours at room temperature, or lightly chill.
  Cut into squares with a sharp, wet knife.
