How to Beat Whites Of ggs.-On breaking the
eggs, take care that none of the yelk becomes
mingled with the whites. A single particle will
sometimes prevent their foaming well. Put the
whites into a large fat dish, and beat them with
an egg beater made Of double wire, withsa tin
handle or with cork struck crosswise upon the
prongs of fork Strike sharp, quick stroke
through the whole length of the DISH Beat them
in the cellar or some other cool place, till they
look like snow, and you can turn the dish over
without their slipping off. Never suspend the
process nor let them stand, even for one minute,
as they will begin to turn to liquid state, and
cannot be restored, and thus will make heavy
cake.
