(I use plastic hollow paddles and not the usual metal crosses)<\/p>\n<p>3) Make sure your water is at a boil before starting this step as it will be needed quickly. \u00a0Mix the egg whites and vinegar in with the dry goods and keep mixing. \u00a0It will start to solidify but it will be clumpy at this point.<\/p>\n<p>4) Pour in the boiling water while you continue to mix. \u00a0Within 10 or 15 seconds of mixing, it will become a very sticky dough mixture. \u00a0For me it slides off the paddles quite easily but will stick to your hands quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p>5) \u00a0break into small clumps of about 1\/2 inch high and 1.5 or 2 inch diameter and place onto cookie sheet spread out.<\/p>\n<p>6) Immediately put into oven on the bottom rack for 55 or 60 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I took them out, broke one open with my thumbs and picture is below. \u00a0Some soft butter and a knife were close at hand for a pleasurable snack. \u00a0The rest I am keeping for Easter dinner and a few to bring to work tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: \u00a0I tried making a bigger loaf of this but the inside simply does not cook as well as the smaller versions.<\/p>\n<p>Pictures and nutritional information are below based on plugging the ingredients into a Fitday.com calculator.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2328\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2328\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/buns1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2328\" title=\"Buns On Tray\" alt=\"Buns On Tray\" src=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/buns1-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/buns1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/buns1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2328\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Buns On Tray (click to enlarge)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2329\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2329\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/buns2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2329\" title=\"Cracked Open Bun.
