    Step 1

    Separate the egg whites and yolks of two eggs into two clean, dry bowls. Whisk the egg whites with chopsticks until foamy, then add a suitable amount of granulated sugar and continue whisking until soft peaks form. Add a little more sugar and continue whisking until the egg whites are creamy and don't fall out when inverted. Refrigerate. Now you can start whisking the egg yolks. First, add a little milk (or water if you don't have milk) and whisk until smooth. Then add a suitable amount of corn oil and continue whisking until smooth. Next, add the granulated sugar and continue whisking until smooth. Add two heaping tablespoons of flour (sifting is even better if you have one). Gently fold the flour in from the bottom up until combined, being careful not to stir in circles, as the flour will become too elastic and won't rise properly. The picture below shows half of the egg whites being poured into the egg yolk mixture and gently folded in from the bottom up until combined.
