Whisk the egg white until stiff and fold into mixture.

Line a baking sheet with foil and place the mixture on it. Press the mixture into a slab about ½ inch, 12-13mm thick using a rolling pin. Cover again with foil and place a board or other flat object over it. Place two or three full tin cans of something on top as weights. Leave for 3 days to dry out and harden.
