• 4 eggs (1 cup, 240 mL)
• Plain Flour (1 cup, 128g flour)
• Milk (1 cup, 240mL)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon (15mL) vegetable oil or lard, halved
• 2, 12 oz ramekins

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C.
• Measure 4 eggs in a measuring cup, should be 1 cup (240 mL), but if not, adjust flour and milk to measure the same as the eggs. They should all be measured in equal parts.

• Pour eggs and milk in a bowl and whisk (by hand or with an electric mixer) until well combined and smooth.

• Add flour and salt whisk again until no lumps remain and it is creamy and smooth.

• Add oil to the bottom of ramekins and place on a baking sheet. Place in the oven until the oil or lard starts to heat up and smoke.

• Remove from oven and immediately pour into ramekins and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and dry.
