Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Separate the whites from the yolks. Separate very carefully so that not a drop of yolk gets into the whites, otherwise the whites will not climb. Put the yolks in a bowl, add half the sugar and vanilla sugar.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rub the yolks well with sugar until they increase in volume and whiten the mass.

3. Step 3:

   

   Place the whites in a clean bowl and beat at low or medium speed of the mixer until a light fluffy foam forms.

4. Step 4:

   

   When all the sugar is added, continue whipping until the whites pour out of the bowl when tilting (or turning) the bowl.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add the third part of the whipped whites to the yolks and gently, from bottom to top, mix.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add the sifted flour to the yolk mass and mix well.

7. Step 7:

   

   Then add the remaining whipped whites and very gently, with movements from bottom to top, as if lifting layer by layer, mix the dough.
