2 servings
For the batter
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 2 tbsp whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness. - ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
For the meringue
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
Chef's tipUse the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less. - ¼ tsp cream of tartar
For cooking
- 1 tsp neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil), for greasing
Chef's tipAvocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.Chef's tipAvocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap. - 2 tbsp water, for steaming

In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the 3 egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase to high speed and gradually add the granulated sugar one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form — the whites should hold a firm peak that barely curls at the tip when the beater is lifted, about 3–4 minutes total.
