Tips
- The batter separates into three layers: a firm, flan-like bottom, a creamy, pudding-like center, and a puffy, souffléed crown.
- It’s a bit like a self-saucing cake meets soufflé meets clafouti, with a sort of floating island meringue effect on the top.
- It’s extremely easy, with pleasingly simple flavors—vanilla, eggs, and milk.
