Hi can I use the loaf tin with lined with greaseproof paper instead? How do I prevent the sides from shrinking inwards? Thank you.

Hi Anonymous,

Sorry for the late replied. Egg white whisk till just stiff peak. Oven temperature not too high as it will raise too fast and when cooling it will shrink. Fill batter till 70% to 80% full. Mine usually will shrink in height.
