   Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture.

6. 6

   In another bowl with an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they form very soft peaks.

   Add the remaining sugar, a little at a time, then continue to beat the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry.

   Stir in one-fourth of the egg-white mixture, then fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly into the batter.
