2. Break the eggs, separate the egg whites.

3. Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and mix it to get a foam.

4. Add the margarine and the sugar to the yolks, mix them, too. Then mix it with the vanilla sugar, and the sour cream, too.

5. Cook the pasta in the milk, you should stir it, while you cook it.

6. Mix the milky pasta to the pastry, then add the curd cheese to it, and a little lemon juice, and cinnamon if you like. Blend them.

7. Pour the foam to the pastry, and mix them carefully.
