Preparation

Step 1

Sift the flours. Grease the wax paper with the margarine, powder some flour and shake it well to eliminate the excess flour. Put it on the oven pan. In a bowl whip the eggwhites, adding 0.22lb of sugar. In another bowl mix well the 4 yolks with the 0.04lb of sugar for a few seconds (less than a minute). Add the yolks to the eggwhites (never the opposite) mixing it upside down with a rubber slice. Do the same with the flour, adding it spoon after spoon. Put this mix, soft but consistent, into an icing bag, squeezing it on the greased paper making stripes 3.9in long and 1.18in wide and keeping some distance one from another. Leave them rest for some minutes then powder them with the icing sugar, passing it through a colander. Put them into a pre-heated oven (356°F). They should come lightly coloured, swollen and soft. After taking them out of the oven, wait some minutes and separe them from the wax paper. Leave them cold. If you keep them into a biscuit box, they will last for long.
