    Beat eggs until light and frothy. Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tbsp water to a boil. Cook to 248°F, without stirring, then carefully pour into hot whipping eggs. Beat for 10 mins, or until thick and mixture holds its shape.

    Sift flour 3 times then fold into egg mixture. Fit a large piping bag with a plain 1/3 inch tip then spoon batter into piping bag. Pipe 25 (1 1/2 inch diameter) rounds on prepared trays, about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle each round evenly with remaining sugar. Bake, 1 tray at a time, for 4 mins. Let cool on trays.
