Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 15g sugar (1 tbsp)
  • 1g salt (1/4 tsp)
  • 20g all-purpose flour (2 tbsp)
  • 180ml milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Whipping

  • 3 egg whites
  • 35g sugar

For Greasing and Garnish

  • Unsalted butter (for greasing)
  • Sugar (for dusting)
  • Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Grease a baking dish or individual ramekins thoroughly with unsalted butter, then dust the surfaces with sugar to prevent sticking and add a slight sweetness and crust.
  2. Combine Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 whole eggs, 15g sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 20g all-purpose flour, 180ml milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate clean bowl, whisk the 3 egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add 35g sugar while continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form, ensuring the whites are glossy and voluminous.
  4. Fold Egg Whites into Batter: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg mixture, taking care not to deflate the mixture, until just combined and evenly incorporated to maintain airiness.
  5. Fill and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still soft to touch.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and dust with powdered sugar before serving to add a delicate sweetness and decorative touch.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best results, especially when whipping egg whites.
  • Folding the egg whites gently is key to maintaining the soft texture of this dessert.
  • The dessert is best enjoyed fresh and slightly warm.
  • You may substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative if needed, but texture may slightly vary.
  • If using ramekins, adjust baking time as smaller portions may bake faster.
