Mix together all the ingredients for the shortcrust pastry. Let stand in cool and cold few hours before baking.
Beat egg whites until stiff foam. Add the sugar, stirring and whisk for another minute so the meringue will be white and shiny.
Divide the dough into smaller pieces. Take each piece and roll out to a rectangle. Flour table so the dough does not stick. Cut so it gets straight edges.
