Ingredients

• Egg Mixture: 3 large eggs separated, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional for stability), 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Color Additions: Red, yellow, blue, and green gel food coloring (or desired colors)

Instructions

Prep Oven and Pan:

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whip Egg Whites:

In a large clean bowl beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar beating until stiff glossy peaks develop.

Mix Yolks:

In a separate bowl whisk together the egg yolks cornstarch and vanilla extract until smooth.

Fold Mixtures:

Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Add Colors:

Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls for each color you want. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl and gently fold to combine.

Shape & Swirl:

Spoon colorful dollops onto the prepared baking sheet side by side to create a rainbow effect. Swirl gently with a spatula if desired for a marbled look.

Bake:

Bake for 25 minutes or until the bread is set and lightly golden.

Cool & Serve:

Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the baking sheet. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
