Egg whites whipped with sugar to stiff, glossy peaks, with a little vinegar and starch; spread on a lined baking sheet and baked into a layer that's firm outside and soft inside, which rolls up like a sponge cake. Based on the recipes themselves here.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Line a 30 x40 cm pan with parchment paper.
