Tools & supplies

Builds stable egg-white foam.
Baking sheet and parchment
Supports the soft mound.
Spatula and sifter
Shapes the foam and adds starch.
STEP BY STEP
Make it
Prepare
Heat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet and make sure the mixing bowl is free of grease.
Whip
Beat whites until foamy. Add sugar gradually while beating.
Stabilize
Sift in cornstarch and continue until the foam is glossy and holds firm peaks, about 5–6 minutes.
Shape
Spoon onto parchment and shape into one rounded mound.
Bake
Bake 20–25 minutes until lightly golden. Cool before pulling apart.
Good to know
- Keep egg yolk out of the whites; fat interferes with whipping.
- This sweet version differs from cream-cheese-based low-carb cloud bread.
