- 2 whole large eggs
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting edges overhang.

Stir in sugar until combined, then add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Add vanilla extract and stir until the mixture looks glossy and slightly thickened, ~30 seconds.

Fold in flour and salt with a spatula until no dry streaks remain — do not overmix.
