preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 285°F.
2. Whisk the egg whites with the salt and pass through a fine sieve. Dip the mint leaves into the mixture, shake eff the excess, and lay on a sheet of waxed paper.
3. Dust with the confectioner's sugar and put into the even for about 20 minutes, checking regularly, until the egg white starts to bubble up and color very slightly. Te check whether the leaves are ready, take one out and leave to cool slightly. If it is crunchy, it is ready, if net, discard that one and give the others 5 minutes more, then take another one out and check again. If still net ready, give the remaining leaves another 5 minutes. Hopefully, you should end up with 8 to 10 perfectly crunchy leaves.
