Clean and dry beater thoroughly before starting on whites mixture. Any trace of yolk or water can cause cake to not rise.
Whites- Add cream of tartar to whites and blend until very stiff. Whites will not slump when beater is removed.
Carefully fold yolk mix into whites with over and under movement. You should end up with very foamy slightly yellow batter. Avoid breaking down egg whites.
Use large spoon to carefully fill muffin tin with batter. Bake until done, approximately 30 minutes. Edges of top will be golden brown and toothpick will be dry when stuck in center.
