Recipe Yield 12 buns (top or bottom)

Ingredients

  • 6 egg whites
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • 6 tablespoons cream of tartar
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Prepare Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together until very stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for creating a light and fluffy texture in your buns.

  3. Mix Yolk Mixture: In a separate small bowl, mix together the sour cream and cream cheese until well combined.

  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much; a gentle folding motion will ensure the buns remain airy.

  5. Fill Muffin Crowns: Spoon the batter into 12 muffin crown molds, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon or spatula to create an even surface.

  6. Baking Options: If you don’t have muffin crown molds, you can “free form” the buns into approximately 4-inch circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Ensure there is enough space between each bun for them to spread slightly during baking.

  7. Bake: Place the filled molds or free-formed buns into the preheated oven. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and have puffed up beautifully.

  8. Cooling: Once baked, remove the buns from the oven and let them cool in the molds or on a wire rack for a few minutes.

  9. Storage: Transfer the cooled buns to a plastic bag once they have reached room temperature. This helps to keep them fresh and moist.

Tips for Success

  • Ensure your egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks to achieve the desired texture.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and better incorporation.
  • Experiment with different toppings or seasonings to customize the flavor of your buns.
