For 4 eggs, I used 1 1/2 tbsp of whipping cream, and a bit more than 1/8 tsp baking powder, but not 1/4. I Also heated the egg whites and yolks separately, then folded them together, and THEN added the whipping cream and baking powder. You can add the baking powder during any step, but I day always add the whipping cream last. This was all to make it much more fluffier in the end then before ;)
