Method

1. Whisk the egg whites well until you get thick foam
2. Add the sugar and vanilla and whisk
3. Add the grated coconut and mix well
4. Place the mixture in a pan over the heat for only 2 or 3 minutes, stirring constantly until it increases slightly in volume—do not cook the egg
   Timers: 3 min
5. Remove the coconut mixture from the heat and leave it aside for about 30 minutes to cool well
   Timers: 30 min
6. When the mixture cools, take portions and form them into balls
7. Place the balls on baking paper on a tray and put them in the oven; the balls will take on a disc shape automatically
8. When the coconut discs brown on the bottom, turn off the bottom heat and switch on the top heat so they only take on a golden color
