Beat all the ingredients together at the highest mixer speed for about 1 minute, or mix them in a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade for about 30 seconds. The mixture will be about as thick as fondant. With a stockinettecovered rolling pin, well-dusted with powdered sugar, roll the mixture on a board, also liberally dusted with 10X sugar, until it is 1 cm thick. With a 4 cm cutter dipped in 10X sugar, cut the meringue into small circles. Reroll the scraps and cut as many meringues as possible. Space the meringues about 4 cm apart on baking sheets. The baking sheets should be liberally dusted with flour. Bake them uncovered for 15 minutes. Cool the meringues for about 5 minutes on the baking sheets; then, with a spatula, carefully loosen them. Transfer them to wire racks. When they are cool, store them in airtight containers.
