Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using this bread batter topping for a casserole or pie, ensure your base is prepared and ready to be topped.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are frothy. Add in the milk and melted unsalted butter, and whisk until fully combined.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a thick, smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the batter tough.
Spread the batter evenly over your casserole, pie, or gratin using a spatula. Smooth the surface for even cooking.
Place the dish in the oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the bread batter topping is golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out clean.
Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the topping to set further.
