5)Beat egg white till bubble then add in cream of tartar, beat till white form then add in sugar in 3 times, beat till stiff peak form.

    I have never suceeded in chiffon cake until I try your recipe! Thank you!
    I think it is the method that you use by not mixing the flour to the egg yolk mixture.

    However, when i bake other chiffon recipe whose method is to mix flour with egg yolk, but i use your method. The chiffon always fail. Does that mean that this method should only be use when the recipe call for?

    Hope you know what i mean.

  2. Hi Berney,

    Thanks for your compliment. This is not my method and recipe, it from a book. The author is japanese lady.
    In her book she did this:
    Add 1/2 the flour into the egg yolk mixture mix well,
    then add 1/3 portion of egg white to the egg yolk mix well,
    then add the other 1/2 of flour into egg yolk mix well,
    the add 1/3 portion of the egg white to the egg yolk,
    lastly you can pour the egg yolk mixture into the egg white mixture and mix well.
    I didn't mention this in this recipe cos I can manage with all the flour mix into the egg yolk.
    Hope it helps.

  7. You can call and place a reservation with kino, tell them the ISBN no. Then you go down and buy, just in case they don't have stock and you will waste your trip going there.

  8. Jen, thanks for all the info. I called Kinokuniya and Popular, both do not have the stock and they will not order from the Taiwan publisher again.

    Sigh........
