1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish, 8x8-inch baking dish, or oven-safe skillet.

→ Don’t skip greasing—it helps the edges crisp!

2. Separate Eggs

Carefully separate yolks and whites into two clean, dry bowls.

→ Even a speck of yolk can prevent whites from whipping properly.

3. Make the Base Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks, milk, and flour until smooth and lump-free.

4. Whip Egg Whites

With a hand mixer or whisk, beat egg whites on medium-high until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes).

→ Peaks should hold their shape when you lift the beaters.

5. Fold Gently

Using a spatula, gently fold whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in 3 additions.

→ Use slow, sweeping motions—don’t stir! Keep the air in.

6. Bake Until Puffed & Golden

Pour batter into prepared dish.

Bake 30–35 minutes, until deeply golden brown, puffed, and set in the center.

→ It will deflate slightly as it cools—that’s normal!

7. Serve Immediately

Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or top with fresh berries.

Best served warm—the texture is custardy and delicate!

Serving Suggestions & Pro Tips

Classic: Maple syrup + butter

Fruity: Fresh berries, sliced peaches, or stewed apples

Savory twist: Skip sweet toppings—serve with scrambled eggs and bacon

Make ahead: Batter can be mixed (unbaked) and refrigerated 1 hour before baking

Flavor boost: Add 1 tsp vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter

FAQs: Your Questions, Answered

Q: Can I use almond milk?

A: Yes—but texture will be less rich. Add 1 tbsp melted butter for creaminess.

Q: Why did my bake collapse?

A: Likely overmixed batter or opened the oven too soon. Don’t peek before 30 minutes!

Q: Can I make it gluten-free?

A: Yes! Use a 1:1 GF flour blend (like Bob’s Red Mill).

Q: What if I don’t want to separate eggs?

A: You can mix all together—but it won’t puff or get as light. Separating is key!

Q: Can I double the recipe?

A: Yes! Use a 9x13-inch dish and bake 40–45 minutes.
