Revolution Rolls


This is how I make mine. Double recipe.
***Other recipes below. 

6 egg Whites
4 egg Yolks
2 package of splenda
1/8 t. Cream of Tartar
6 T. cottage cheese

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
I use parchment paper on my pans.
Separate eggs making sure NO egg yolks get into the whites. Mix egg yolks, cottage cheese, and splenda. 
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until whites are stiff. Easy way to check to see if whites are ready -Once whites stop moving in the bowl and you can turn the bowl upside down without whites coming out, their done. Now put a little of the whites into the yolk mixture and mix. Using a plastic spoon, FOLD in the yolk mixture a little at a time into the whites. Once mixed, Mound the mixture into 12 mounds on your parchment paper. If you have liquid in the bottom, spread some of the mounds like mashed potatoes and put liquid into middle of the mounds.
Cooks for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Watch closely until rolls start browning on edges.

VARIATIONS TO THE BASIC ROLLS since its publications:

Instead of cottage cheese, replace with:

3 tablespoons mayonnaise, OR
3 tablespoons ricotta cheese, OR

(Cleo's famous Oopsie rolls use three ounces of cream cheese)

Egg Yolk Add-ins:
