Bonà savoir Where to buy egg white powder and what to do with it Egg white powder (or pan-dried egg albumen) is the magic ingredient of this recipe since it is in fact a high quality protein powder. It can be found in some bakery specialty stores and on the Web. Egg white powder ensures better consistency than fresh egg whites.
