Preparation Stir together sugar and chili powder. Whisk egg whites with water until dissolved. Working with 1 kumquat at a time, dip 1 side in whites, letting excess drip off, then dip in sugar mixture. Transfer to a rack to dry, coated side up. Cooks' notes:• 1/4 cup pasteurized liquid egg whites may be substituted for the mixture of powdered ones and water. • Coat kumquats 3 days ahead and keep, between layers of wax paper, in an airtight container at room temperature.
