PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 15 minutes
YIELD: 6 buns
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoons unflavored egg white protein powder
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large bowl, whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar for a few minutes until very stiff.
- Very slowly add the protein powder to the whipped egg whites.
- Reserve the egg yolks and fold them into the whipped whites.
- Grease a baking sheet.
- Use a spatula to gently scoop up about 1/3 cup of the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- With the spatula, shape the dough into either a round hamburger bun, about 3.5 inches in diameter, or an oblong hot dog bun, about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Repeat the process with the rest of the dough to make a total of 6 buns.
- Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the buns to cool completely on the baking sheet before slicing and serving.
- Store any extra buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
