6.Beat in the melted (and cooled) butter, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and allspice.
7.Mix in the flour.
8.Beat in the pumpkin and ½ cup of milk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then with the mixer on the lowest speed, add the remaining milk in a steady, slow stream.
9.Gently fold in/stir in the egg whites by hand.
