This recipe doesn’t need any liquid, once mixed sift in another cup of wheat flour and now just mix it. Mix until the batter is homogeneous before starting to add in the grated cheese, once you have added the grated cheese, mix it into the batter well then start folding the egg whites that you made earlier ion to the batter.
