Preheat the oven to fairly hot 400°F (Gas Mark 6, 200°C).

Transfer the mixture to the flan case, smoothing it out evenly with a knife.
Sprinkle over the remaining sugar.
Place the sheet in the oven and bake the flan for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a wire whisk or rotary beater until they form stiff peaks.
Beat in 1 tablespoon of the castor sugar and continue beating until the meringue is stiff and glossy.
With a metal spoon, fold in the remaining sugar.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Reduce the oven temperature to moderate 350°F (Gas Mark 4, 180°C).
Spoon the meringue over the filling to cover it completely.
