  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a large bowl. Make a well in the mixture. In another bowl, whisk oil and water together and pour it in the well of dry ingredients. Mix well till it becomes lumpy.

Now add xanthan gum and beat again for another 30 seconds. Now add vanilla sugar and confectioners’ sugar. Keep beating till the foam becomes glossy and firm, i.e. around 2 more minutes.
