Ingredients

  • 4 large egg whites
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup candied fruit
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9-inch baking dish with 2 tbsp butter.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, beat 4 egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff and glossy.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk 2 egg yolks with 1 tsp vanilla extract until pale. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites.

  4. 4

    Sift 2 tbsp flour over the egg mixture and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should stay airy.

  5. 5

    Spoon the batter into the prepared dish in three mounds, creating peaks. Smooth the tops slightly.

  6. 6

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the dumplings are puffed but still soft in the center.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle with 1/4 cup candied fruit and dust with 1 tbsp powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
