Mixing Tips:
1. For best results when beating egg whites; use a stainless steel, copper, or glass bowl; do not
use an aluminium or plastic bowl.
2. Allow refrigerated ingredients, such as butter and eggs, to reach room temperature before
mixing in order for them to combine more thoroughly.
3. To avoid the possibility of shell in the mixture, break eggs into a separate container before
adding to the mix.
4. For best results when whipping cream; chill the cream, beaters, and bowl first. Start with the
lowest setting and gradually increase as the cream begins to thicken.
