Using a whisk, light into that mass of egg white like it done you a deep, personal wrong. Keep up a fast, steady, circular motion, lifting the whisk clear of the egg white and plunging it back down. The effect of the beating is two-fold. Firstly, it will forcibly unfold the balled-up proteins. Secondly, it will beat air into the entire mixture. When the
