Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Butter a 2-cup baking dish.
2. Beat all the ingredients in a bowl with a fork or a standing mixer until well combined. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and bake until golden and puffed, 25 to 30 minutes, give or take a little depending on how shallow or deep your baking dish is.
3. Let cool slightly prior to serving straight from the baking dish by the generous spoonful.
