Main Ingredients
- 3 large large eggs Use room temperature for better volume.

- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk.

Baking
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven, dust with powdered sugar, and invert onto a clean kitchen towel. Peel off the parchment paper.
Assembly
