ps: 1. The flour must be sifted to prevent the agglomeration of flour from affecting the taste. 2. The basin or bowl used for whipping egg whites and egg yolks should be oil-free and water-free. 3. The egg yolks should be beaten to 2-3 times the original volume and the color will become lighter. There are lines when you are depressed and they do not disappear within a period of time. 4. Be gentle and quick when mixing flour. Long mixing time and large amplitude can easily cause defoaming.
