mixture forms   a   stiff   but
not dry meringue,   about
1½  minutes.    Watch
carefully,  because if  the
meringue    gets    too dry it
will    fall    apart   when    you
fold    in  the other
ingredients.    Transfer    the
meringue    to  a   large
mixing  bowl,   add the
sifted  dry ingredients,    and
gently  fold    them    in  using
a   large   rubber  spatula.
