Notes
What to do with egg whites? You can throw them away however please consider making scrambled egg whites or confetti cupcakes. Thank you
Sprinkles: Sprinkles are optional. I was making these for a birthday party and I thought the sprinkles would make these very festive!
Butter: Please use melted butter (or partially melted butter) Read my blog post above to find out why we use melted butter.
Salt: This recipe is very sweet and I like to add a generous amount of of salt as to cut the sweetness and make it taste even better. You can skip the salt if you want or reduce it to a good 1/2 tsp
