Esmee's egg cake, to make your own homemade "eierkoeken"; Dutch fluffy cookies! Not a lot of work and super nice to have with some coffee. Enjoy the egg cakes!
Ingredients for about 20 egg cakes:
5 eggs
125 grams of granulated sugar
125 grams of white caster sugar
15 grams lemon zest
250 grams self-raising flour
Also needed:
Oven
baking paper
mixer
batter bowl
Mix the eggs with the sugar and lemon zest in a mixing bowl. Then put it in a pan with hot water and heat it to about 25 °C (this is called au bain-marie or else look it up). Mix the batter until fluffy and fold in the self-raising flour. Put the batter far apart on a baking tray with baking paper (about 8 at a time) and bake at 200 °C for about 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the plate with a long knife and they are ready.
Have fun baking!
