🛒 Ingredients

10 servings

10
  • 200 g (1¾ cups) cornstarch
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons softened margarine or unsalted butter
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease a baking pan and line with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a blender or using a hand mixer, combine the eggs, margarine, sugar, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Sift in the cornstarch and baking powder. Fold gently with a spatula until a soft, pliable batter forms.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.

  5. 5

    Allow to cool completely before slicing. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.

💡 Chef's Tip

Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra depth. These are naturally gluten-free — just ensure your cornstarch and baking powder carry a certified gluten-free label.
