  10. Add in another 1/2 of the remaining Meringue into the batter again and fold in using a balloon whisk and fold in slowly (As we do not want to deflate the batter) till it is well combined.
  11. Lastly, pour the batter into the Meringue mixing bowl and fold in using a balloon whisk till it is well combined slowly as you do not want to deflate the batter. (Well combined = U do not see any Meringue in the batter)
  12. Add in the corn and chicken floss to the batter and fold in slowly using a balloon whisk.
  13. Pour the batter into a chiffon tin (No need to grease it).
  14. Bake it in a preheated oven for 25 mins (17 CM chiffon tin) at 170 degrees. You can use a long stick to do a test whether it is fully cooked.
  15. Once it is out from the oven, please inverted the chiffon tin and let it cool down completely before removing it from the chiffon tin.
