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
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.
