    Check batter: It should be creamy, not too thick - if it's to thick, add a little more water until it's smooth.

    Fold in stiff egg whites.
  12. 12
    Fill batter into muffin tins, bake at 380° for about 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean.

    Immediately remove muffins from muffin tray and let cool completely on a wire rack.

    If you like sweet muffins, add sweetener and spices to taste (great with cinnamon) to the batter. I use to eat them instead of sandwich rolls.
