Gradually fold in egg whites. Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 325° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.Topping/Filling:1 c. packed brown sugar1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour dash salt1/4 c. orange juice2 Tbsp. water1 egg, beaten1/4 c. butter or margarine1 tsp. vanilla extract2 c. whipping cream1/4 c. powdered sugar Combine brown sugar, flour and salt in a saucepan.
