Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole eggs instead of just egg whites?
Using whole eggs will change the texture and increase the fat content, making the puffs denser. For a lighter version, it’s best to stick with just egg whites as specified in the recipe.
What can I do if the mixture is too runny?
If your mixture seems too runny, be sure you've beaten the egg whites to stiff peaks. You can also try adding a little more sugar replacement to help stabilize the mixture.
Can I freeze these puffs?
Yes, you can freeze Teatime Puffs! Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze before transferring to an airtight container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months, and you can reheat them directly from frozen.
