Beat the egg whites with the salt in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until the egg whites hold peaks. Gradually add the honey while continuously beating to blend until stiff peaks form. Lift the beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form sharp peaks.

Sift the flour and white sugar together. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the egg whites and gently fold with a spoon to combine; repeat with two more additions of the flour mixture until fully incorporated. Stir the vanilla into the batter.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
