Once mixed then add to batter. You never really want to place wet ingredients into this batter. The gel coloring serves as an emulsifier. You can also replace the Pandan flavoring altogether with ½ tsp of any gel flavoring of your choice.

Egg whites at room temperature produce better quality air bubbles when stiff. ** Cream of tartar helps the egg whites maintain their stiff peaks and this in turn will benefit the batter once incorporated. *** The color of the batter will lighten once baked so when mixing into the batter add a bit more gel coloring than the color that’s desired. ****Always wash your hands after handling raw eggs. Sorry guys the science geek in me just has to say this even though everyone knows this already.
