"Gotcha! Just gotta get the whites a sliiiight whipping..." Hamuko hummed. She hadn't mastered Shinjiro's incredible one-handed egg cracking skills or his talent on separating whites and yolks yet, but she at least can give it a go! After getting the yolks in their own bowl she gave the whites a brief whipping (not too much, according to what she looked up) and then added yolks, vanilla, oil...

After a few minutes, she's got the wet ingredients together! Easy!

"Okay! Now we mix this in - instructions said to try not to over-mix since that develops the gluten more? I think we can get a pretty stable crumb with some folding. Ready?"
