Salzburger Nockerl

Step by stepInstructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a 9-inch ovenproof dish generously.
2. Beat the egg whites with 3 tablespoons of the sugar to stiff, glossy peaks.
3. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar, vanilla, flour, and 2 tablespoons of the milk until pale.
4. Fold the yolk mixture into the whites gently — streaks are fine.
5. Warm the remaining milk and pour it into the buttered dish. Spoon the soufflé mixture into three tall peaks, dust with powdered sugar, and bake 10-12 minutes until the peaks are golden brown and the base is set.
6. Serve immediately with the compote spooned around.
