Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 7 eggs
  • 150 g sugar
  • 150 g cornstarch
  • 75 g flour
  • 1 packet of baking powder
  • possibly pudding powder (vanilla flavor)
  • possibly cocoa

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours 25 minutes

Separate the eggs, beat the egg yolks with 2-3 tablespoons of warm water and half the sugar until very light and creamy and has increased in size considerably. Transfer to a large bowl. Clean the mixing bowl and mixer (there should be no grease or egg yolks on them!) and beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar for a long time. When you turn the mixing bowl upside down and the egg whites don’t move, they’re ready. Mix the cornstarch, flour, and baking powder. Alternatively, you can replace half of the cornstarch with vanilla pudding powder or dark cocoa. Pour the egg whites onto the egg yolks and sift the starch mixture over them. Carefully fold everything in. Bake in the oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes and let cool before using again (the dome that the batter forms during baking will then collapse again, making it nice and straight).
