Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a pie dish or tart pan.

  7. Pour the batter into your prepared dish and smooth it out. Sprinkle an extra tablespoon of sugar on top.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For a variation, add chopped nuts, spices, berries, or dark chocolate to the batter.
