Baking School: Your Guide to Egg Whites

Eggs are an important tool in any baker’s repertoire. They act as a leavener, create structure, and add richness and color to many baked goods. Egg whites and yolks serve different purposes and also work well as a team. Egg yolks contain all the fat content of the egg while the whites contain the proteins. When whipped, egg whites turn into a fluffy foam that can have many practical and delicious baking purposes.
