Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and prepare your muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, milk, and unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is smooth.
  4. Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture in three additions.
  6. Sift in the flour and salt, folding gently until just combined.
  7. Divide the batter evenly in the muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
