Ingredients
3 large eggs (separated)
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional)
1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
Instructions
1. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar and continue whipping until stiff, glossy peaks form.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract. Add flour and baking powder, mixing just until combined.
3. Fold one-third of the meringue into the yolk batter to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining meringue in two additions.
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over low heat and grease with butter. Grease ring molds as well and place them in the pan.
5. Spoon batter into molds, filling them 3/4 of the way. Cover and cook for 4–5 minutes. Flip gently and cook another 4–5 minutes.
6. Remove from molds carefully. Serve immediately with toppings of your choice.
Notes
Use room-temperature eggs for better meringue stability.
