1 pint of milk


4 whole eggs


2 egg whites

Plain flour till thick but not too thick….......if that makes sense?

 


I always put salt in when I make the batter don’t think it matters if you leave it till the end or not, i’ve put it in the day before and it still rises.

Why the extra whites?
Equal amount of whole egg to milk then add plain flour to correct consistency(like bingo said not too thick)
In a convection put your moulds filled half way with oil in on 215oc for 10 minutes. Will be very hot now.
Add the mix. Back in for 10 on 215oc, then turn down to 180oc for a further 10 minutes.
Perfect everytime.

Im sure others will tell you to cook the eggs in a water bath for 17 days, then use a espuma gun for extra elevation, oh yeah and paco the flour to split the gluten raspberry raspberry raspberry grin

equal parts of Eggs, Milk and Flour by volume, salt and a little Oil
so if you have a litre of milk, use a litre of eggs and a litre of flour

blitz it all together, pass

put tins in oven with some oil in and leave to heat for 5 mins

batter in tins, cook till risen, golden, a feel light when picked up

i sometimes use extra whites, if i have some lying around, it makes them a little lighter thats all, and they tend to go a little less golden brown as less yolk

i find the trick is eggs i use about 10 eggs to ltr of milk i do not season the mix as the salt kills the eggs ! and make sure the fat is really hot place the trays in the oven for 5 mins then under the grill until fat smokes this has never failed me hope this helps .

were do you guys get the whole salt kills the eggs thing.. normally my mix is done just before using it, so the salt has no time break down the eggs, although my recipe contains salt I have used it a day after the mix was made and the same results were reached..

I used to do the old equal amounts recipe but found the extra whites really lifts them.
