1. In a heatproof bowl, placed over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the egg whites, sugar, and salt.

5. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.  
6. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes and then place on a wire rack to cool.
7. Makes about 2 dozen Macaroons.
