In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form (this will be easiest in an electric mixer)
Fold egg whites in to the batter – do not do this in an electric mixer, use a spatula

    Those look yummy! Might have to try the recipe but I’m trying to get hubby to go on a diet! Probably won’t be able to have any sweets around the house for awhile:(
