  5. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes on high speed.
  6. Slowly add 1/4 cup sugar on high speed until egg whites firm up, about 1 to 2 minutes, set aside.
  7. Remove beaters, wash and dry thoroughly.
  8. Beat egg yolks with remaining 3/4 cup of sugar on medium until egg yolks are light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
