Eggs
Use a fork to beat the whole egg until the yolk and white are combined and no streaks remain.
Soft Peaks
peaks
- Any fat (egg yolk, butter, oil) will inhibit egg whites from whipping properly.
- Clean all equipment with vinegar to neutralize any residual fat on their surfaces.
- Place egg whites in glass or metal bowl (do not use plastic).
- For the best results, separate your eggs while they're cold. Then let the whites sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed or with a rotary beater until they form peaks with tips that curl over when the beaters are lifted.
peaks
- Follow instructions for soft peaks, but beat egg whites on high until they form peaks with tips that stand straight when the beaters are lifted out.
- Beat yolks with an electric mixer on high speed for about five minutes.
- Color should be light yellow.
- Yolks should be thick and fall in a ribbon pattern when beaters are lifted out.
