Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a muffin tin or eierkoeken mold.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together vigorously using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is pale, thick, and has roughly tripled in volume, about 8-10 minutes.
10 minutes
3
Sift together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl, then gently fold this dry mixture into the whipped egg and sugar mixture in small batches, being careful not to deflate the batter.
5 minutes
4
Add a small splash of water to the batter if needed to achieve a smooth, ribbon-like consistency, then fold gently until just combined.

Spoon the batter into the prepared molds or onto the baking sheet, filling each cavity about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
