Notes

Expert Tips
  • We recommend using a 10-ounce ramekin. If you use a ramekin that is smaller than the one recommended, divide the batter between the two and bake as directed.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Measure the flour correctly. We recommend spooning the flour into the measuring cup until it is overfilled. Then use the flat edge of a kitchen knife to level the measuring up at the top.
