Basic recipe according to Grandma
Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff. Beat the egg yolks with sugar and salt for at least 5 minutes until very, very foamy. (Add lemon juice or zest if desired.) Now add the stiffly beaten egg whites to the mixture and sift the flour and cornstarch mixed over it. Carefully and slowly fold everything in. Now process further as desired. (Grandma loved to make a Swiss roll out of it. She would then grease a baking tray well or line it with baking paper, spread the mixture on it and bake it at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 10 minutes…then she would turn the tray out onto a damp tea towel sprinkled with sugar and immediately and carefully roll it up into a tight roll (peeling off the baking paper first, of course).
