Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix thoroughly the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
- Add the beaten egg yolks and mix well.

- Fill well-greased muffin tins two-thirds full of batter.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, make sure to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. If you don't have Wheatsworth flour, you can substitute with whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour for a similar result. Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract can enhance the flavor as well.
Serving Suggestions
These muffins are delicious on their own, but you can serve them warm with butter or jam. They also pair beautifully with Tracey And John'S Homemade Potato Soup for a comforting meal. For a delightful breakfast, serve alongside fresh fruit or yogurt. Consider dusting them with powdered sugar for a sweet touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these muffins ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just remember to bring it to room temperature before baking for even results. Alternatively, bake the muffins ahead of time and store them for later use.
What can I add to the muffins for extra flavor?
You can mix in ingredients like chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture. Spices like cinnamon or nutmeg also work well to enhance the taste. Just be mindful not to overload the batter to maintain the muffins' structure.
How do I know when the muffins are done baking?
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached. The muffins should also be golden brown on top and spring back when lightly pressed. Keep an eye on them after the 15-minute mark.
