Ingredient Notes

Eggs are the star of this dish, providing protein and a rich flavor. All-purpose flour provides the structure, while sugar adds a hint of sweetness. The addition of baking powder ensures a fluffy and light bread.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by preheating the broiler. In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Stir in water to form a batter. Pour the batter into four ramekins, then crack an egg into each. Broil until the tops are golden brown and the eggs are set.

Things I’ve Learned

Getting the eggs just right can be a bit tricky. It’s important to keep an eye on the broiler to ensure the eggs don’t overcook. Also, do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
