For the meringue: Whisk 4 egg whites until frothy. Gradually add 200 g sugar in 3-4 stages while whisking until stiff peaks form. Add 1 tsp lemon juice and 100 g chopped almonds, folding gently.
Line a baking tray (approximately 24 x 36 cm / 9.5" x 14") with baking paper. Spread the meringue mixture onto the tray and bake at 170℃ (338℉) for about 35 minutes.
