2. Then separate the egg yolk from the egg white, add sugar to the egg white several times, and stir until the chopsticks can stand up.
3. Then add flour to the egg yolk and stir well. At this time, the egg yolk mixture has not been completely fermented. Pour in a proper amount of foaming powder and continue to stir until there are no particles.

2 How much baking powder should be put in a catty of flour? It is generally recommended to put 5- 10g.
In general, the fermentation time of flour will change with the amount of yeast, fermentation temperature and sugar content of dough, which generally takes 1-3 hours, while baking powder will not be affected by these factors, so a proper amount of baking powder will be used to help the fermentation.
Generally, a catty of flour needs 5- 10g baking powder. If you put too much, the taste of the ingredients will be somewhat poor and may be bitter. It is suggested to add baking powder according to the proportion of 2-3% of ingredients.
