Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Sieve for sifting
  • Silicone rubber spatula
  • Batter squeeze bottle or plastic bag
  • Cupcake mold
  • Baking tray
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

Egg Yolk Batter

  • 40 g corn oil
  • 40 g whole milk
  • 85 g low-gluten flour
  • 5 egg yolks

Egg White Batter

  • 5 egg whites
  • A small amount of lemon juice about 1 tablespoon
  • 50 g sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, mix corn oil and milk until smooth.
  • Add low-gluten flour. Use a sieve when adding the flour to separate clumps for better texture.
  • Then, add 5 egg yolks and beat until you get a yellow buttery consistency.
  • In another mixing bowl, whisk 5 egg whites with lemon juice and sugar until it becomes white and frothy.
  • Next, combine the egg yolk mixture with the egg white mixture. Mix it well with a silicone spatula.
  • Use a batter squeeze bottle or plastic bag to transfer the egg batter into the cupcake mold. This makes it easier to transfer with an even distribution, but you can simply use a spoon to put the batter into the molds while ensuring there are no air pockets.
  • Place the cupcake molds on a baking tray and put it in the oven.
  • Bake at 130°C (265°F) for 25 minutes first.
  • Then, change the temperature to 150°C (300°F) and bake for another 25 minutes.
