  5. Add a few drops of white vinegar to the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer at low speed for about 1 minute. When thick bubbles appear, add 1/3 of the fine sugar.

  6. Set the electric egg beater to medium speed 3 and continue beating for about 1 minute. The protein bubbles will become fine and the volume will expand to twice the size. The egg liquid cannot stick to the egg head. Add 1/3 of the fine sugar.

  7. Continue to beat at the third level of the egg beater. The egg whites will become more delicate and have some micro-textures. When you lift the egg beater, the egg whites in the basin cannot stand up and the beater on the egg beater will droop.

  8. Add the remaining 1/3 of the fine sugar and continue to use the third level. During the beating process, the egg whites become stiffer and stiffer, and the lines passed by the whisk head become thinner and thinner. Lift the egg beater, the egg whites on the egg beater will be in a curved state, and the egg whites in the egg beater bowl will be straight, with the peak slightly bent downward. At this point it is nine points, suitable for making cake rolls.
