Ingredients
- Egg Mixture: 3 large eggs (separated), 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, for stability), 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Color Additions: Red, yellow, blue, and green gel food coloring (or desired colors)
Instructions
- Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat Egg Whites:
- In a clean bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks develop.
- Mix Yolks:
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into whipped egg whites, taking care not to deflate the batter.
- Add Colors:
- Divide batter into bowls for each desired color. Fold in gel food coloring to each bowl.
- Shape Rainbow:
- Spoon colorful dollops side by side onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. For marbled effect, gently swirl with a spatula.
- Bake & Serve:
- Bake for 25 minutes until set and lightly golden. Allow to cool briefly, remove from sheet, and serve immediately for fluffiest texture.
