Preparation
-
Separate the whites from the yolks. The egg whites will not be used in this recipe, but you can save them to prepare a meringue or an egg white pudding. Beat the egg yolks and pass them through a fine-mesh sieve into a large, dry, clean container.
-
Bring a pan to the boil with water and sugar. Let it boil until it reaches the pearl stage. Turn off and let cool. Add the ground almonds and mix everything together.
-
Turn on the oven at 180ºC.
-
Add the yolks, eggs and melted butter, stirring constantly. Mix everything until it is very homogeneous.
-
Pour this mixture into a mold greased with oil or butter and sprinkled with sugar.
-
Bake in the oven, preheated to 180ºC, in a bain-marie, for 20 to 30 minutes.
-
Remove and let cool. The secret is not to unmold it hot (as the lis breeze breaks it), nor cold (as it may not release). Unmold with a knife and serve.
