Answer to Question 1

Starch gelatinization requires a higher temperature than that appropriate for egg coagulation. One wants to avoid lumping or cooking of the raw egg as it is added to the hot starch mixture. Therefore, a spoonful of hot sol is quickly stirred into the egg and this procedure repeated about three times in order to raise the coagulation temperature a bit, making it possible to then stir the diluted mixture into the hot paste without forming lumps.

Answer to Question 2
