Crunchy coconut macaroons

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Lightly whisk the egg whites until frothy but not stiff. Add the sugar, beating continuously, then gradually stir in the coconut.
2. Place small teaspoonfuls on greased baking sheets, leaving space between them as they will spread while baking. Press one almond onto each macaroon. Bake in the centre of the oven for 18–20 minutes until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheets.
