Instructions

1. Place the sausage in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, breaking the sausage up with the back of a spoon for about 8-10 minutes until browned.
2. Place the egg whites in the bowl of a standing mixer and whisk until soft peaks form.
3. Combine the buttermilk, melted butter, coconut sugar, vanilla extract and 3 egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk in the melted butter.
