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
- Prep Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whip Egg Whites:
- In a large clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff glossy peaks develop.
- Mix Egg Yolks:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks cornstarch and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold Mixtures:
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Color the Batter:
- Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls for each color you want. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl and gently fold to combine.
- Shape & Bake:
- Spoon colorful dollops onto the prepared baking sheet side by side to create a rainbow effect. Swirl gently with a spatula if desired for a marbled look.
- Finish & Serve:
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the bread is set and lightly golden. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the baking sheet. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
