Are you ever having one of those nights where the kids are off at soccer practice or band rehearsal, and you just know they’re going to walk through the door in a downright ravenous mood? Or maybe you have a bit of a sweet tooth but are short on time?
This simple dessert is sure to win you parent of the year, and no one has to know it only took 5 minutes to make.
The best part is that it contains only one main ingredient! All you need are eggs, sugar, and butter, and you’re ready to go. If you are low on time and ingredients, this simple recipe has got you covered.
To begin this recipe, start by cracking three eggs, separating the yolk from the whites.
Then, beat the yolk using chopsticks. Don’t worry if you don’t have chopsticks! A simple fork or whisk will surely get the job done.
After achieving an equal yellow consistency, it’s time for the next step.
Now, it’s time to stir the egg whites!
Continue mixing until achieving a white, fluffy consistency. Then scrape the remaining whites off of the mixer and back into the bowl.
After getting all of the egg whites back into the mixing bowl, add powdered sugar. Depending on how sweet you like your desserts, you’re free to add as much sugar as you see fit. Gently stir the sugar and egg whites together.
Now, it’s time to move to the stovetop!
Using one medium-sized frying pan, add butter then heat. Spread the butter around the pan, until the base is sufficiently covered. We don’t want our final masterpiece to stick to the pan!
Pour the stirred yolk evenly onto the frying pan.
Be sure to keep a low to medium heat! You don’t want to burn the base layer of your dessert.
Gently loosen the edges of the mixture to ensure they do not stick or burn.
Poke several holes throughout the yolk layer. This allows any excess of heat to escape, leading to an overall more equal distribution of heat.
For the next step, simply add the egg white and sugar mixture into the pan.
Gently pat the mixture to achieve an equal spread of whites across the yolk layer. Be sure to level out any bumps or clumps!
Add a lid and let cook! After cooking through both layers, transfer the dessert onto a cutting board. At this point, the egg white layer will begin to shrink as heat dissipates.
As the steam rises, you can see the dessert shrink with your very own eyes!
Gently cut the dessert in half while carefully flipping one half onto the other, creating a sandwiching effect.
For the final step, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. This is sure to have mouths watering!
Simply cut into equal pieces, and your dessert is ready to serve!
For a bit of added oomph, you can add whipped cream along with some fresh fruit. The topping options are endless! From berries to shaved coconut, or chopped pecans, you can’t go wrong.
This simple dessert only takes minutes to make, and it’s packed with protein. It’s so easy that this may even make an appearance on your weekly dinner table.
