By Jeannine13

Ingredients

• 2 eggs, separated
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tbs. sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Separate eggs; beat egg whites until stiff. Mix all the other ingredients together at one time and beat until smooth. Fold in egg whites.

Heat pan on low to medium heat. Put 1/2 tsp. butter, oil or shortening in each cup. Pour in batter near top but not filling cup. If desired, put 1/2 tsp. of jam, a piece of pineapple, blueberries, raisins, etc., in batter. (If fruit is added, reduce the amount of batter initially placed in cup. Add fruit and cover with a small amount of batter.) When bubbly, turn ball with a fork or skewer. Continue cooking until toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm with powdered sugar or syrup.
