Looking for a trick to succeed the egg whites by hand for sure?
It's true that whipping egg whites by hand isn't easy.
Fortunately, there is a very simple trick to successfully whip your egg whites by hand every time.
The trick is to add a few drops of lemon before mounting them in snow. Watch:
1. Separate the egg whites using this trick here.
2. Add four to five drops of lemon juice to the egg whites.
3. With a whisk in hand, beat the whites.
4. Stop when the whites have a nice foamy and firm texture.
There you go, you've managed to whip your egg whites easily by hand :-)
You don't even need an electric mixer to have stiff egg whites!
Be aware that you should not beat the eggs too long otherwise they will lose their smooth appearance.
How do you know when to stop beating them?
Just run your knife over the whites. If it leaves a mark, you can stop.
This trick works because lemon has the power to air the texture egg whites. As a result, the eggs rise more easily and with less effort.
Do not wait to use your egg whites otherwise they will lose their firmness and after that it is impossible to catch up!
Integrate them gently in your preparation. Do not beat them to mix them into your recipe:you will break the small air bubbles that make them up and say goodbye to lightness!
