If eggs are to be added whole, beat thoroughly and add reserved sugar. If eggs are to be separated, beat whites until stiff but not dry and beat in sugar reserved for the purpose, and set aside; beat yolks thoroughly with same beater. Add beaten eggs or yolks to butter and sugar mixture. Add dry ingredients and liquid alternately. Beat thoroughly but do not stir. Fold in egg whites, if eggs were separated.
