  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coloring

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Whip Egg Whites: In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites along with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat until the egg whites are stiff and glossy, which provides the soufflé-like texture essential for cloud bread.

  6. Form Rainbow Dollops: Spoon the colored batters side by side onto the prepared baking sheet to create a vibrant rainbow pattern. For a marbled effect, gently swirl the colors together using a spatula.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the cloud bread is set and lightly golden, ensuring it maintains a fluffy texture.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cloud bread to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes. Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal fluffiness and delicate texture.

Notes

  • Use clean, grease-free bowls and beaters when whipping egg whites to achieve maximum volume.
  • Do not overmix after combining the yolk mixture with egg whites, to keep the bread airy.
  • Gel food coloring is preferred over liquid food coloring to avoid adding excess moisture to the batter.
  • Cloud bread is best eaten fresh as it may lose its fluffiness over time.
