Chef's Tips
Sift dry ingredients at least 3 times for extra fluffiness.
Use cake flour for a lighter texture, or DIY by mixing all-purpose flour with cornstarch.
Avoid overbeating meringue to stiff peaks; aim for medium peaks for easier folding.
Gradually add sugar to egg whites to prevent collapse.
For consistent results, weigh out equal batter per mold before baking.
