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.
