Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Buttermilk
- 250 ml Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Melted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a standard pie dish or baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and creamy.
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while continuing to whisk, ensuring there are no lumps.
Slowly pour in the buttermilk and milk, whisking continuously, to form a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the dessert is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Allow the dessert to cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
