Cooking tips

Before adding the flour and baking powder to the egg mixture, be sure to sift it - this will break up any lumps and add fluffiness.

White chocolate can be melted in a double boiler or in the microwave. To do this, finely chop the chocolate, place it in a microwave-safe container, and melt it on half power, setting the timer for 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds. Be careful not to overheat!
