3.Gradually add cornstarch and sifted flour. Stir gently, being careful not to create lumps.
4.Add salt to the egg whites and beat until stiff and frothy. Then add the remaining powdered sugar in 3 to 4 strokes and continue beating until stiff but soft peaks are formed.
5.Carefully add the whites to the cheesecake filling of the cottage cheese and egg yolks. Place the mixture in a parchment lined baking sheet.
