Description

A light and fluffy meringue dessert made with whipped egg whites and rich yolks.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice or 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 tablespoon oil or melted butter (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Separate the eggs while cold; place yolks in one bowl and whites in another. Let the whites rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Beat the egg whites with lemon juice or cream of tartar. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. In the yolk bowl, whisk together milk and vanilla. Sift in flour and baking powder. Mix gently until smooth.
  4. Add a spoonful of the meringue to the yolk batter to lighten it, then fold in the remaining meringue in three parts using a spatula.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet over low heat. Grease skillet and ring molds with oil or melted butter and place molds in the skillet to preheat.
  6. Spoon the batter into the molds, filling them 75% full. Add a few drops of water to the skillet (around the molds), cover with a lid, and cook for 4–5 minutes.
  7. Gently flip the molds with a spatula and cook for another 4–5 minutes until golden and set.
  8. Carefully remove the molds and serve immediately with toppings like powdered sugar, berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the egg whites are free from yolk.
  • You can add your favorite toppings for extra flavor.
