Ingredients

You’ll wantbaking tray; parchment; clean, grease-free bowl; whisk.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 150°C / 300°F and line a tray with parchment.
  2. In a clean, grease-free bowl, whisk the whites with the salt until foamy.
  3. Add the cornstarch, and the colouring and vanilla if using.
  4. Add the sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking until it holds stiff, glossy peaks.
  5. Shape it into a cloud on the tray.
  6. Bake 25–26 minutes. Cool a few minutes, then tear it open.
  7. Tip: Use fresh eggs. A speck of yolk or carton whites won't whip; beat to stiff, glossy peaks.

It is more soufflé than bread: light, airy and gently sweet.
