Take a spatula, dump your whites in the yolks bowl and slowly combine. No stirring! More like lifting it up from the bottom, you want it to stay fluffy.

The biscuits should be evenly "dry" all through. They're not supposed to be spongy biscuits.

Left side is pretty much what you should be aiming for. Smaller biscuits with a golden bottom. Right side are the fat asses from the first batch that baked too long.

Voila! Delicious biscuits! Kids and adults of all the generations in Czech Republic love these. They can be a yummy part of many deserts like Tiramisu or... I'll save that for my next guide :)

These are often used as baby/kids food. Me and my sis used to love dipping them in tea or cocoa. Good stuff to eat if you're sick and have to diet cause of an upset stomach! :)
