Starting and ending with egg white, alternate adding 4 egg whites and 1 ½ cups self-rising flour, beating until each is thoroughly incorporated. Beat in 1 tablespoon water and 1 teaspoon vanilla until just incorporated. Divide batter into two equal parts. To one part add 10 drops of yellow food coloring and 1 drop of red food coloring.
