Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • 120 grams Strong bread flour
  • 120 grams Sugar
  • 50 ml Milk
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Method

  • Warm the milk and mix in the honey.
  • Combine eggs and sugar in a bowl and whisk.
  • When you can draw S on the surface with the mixture, it is ready.
  • Add Step 1 and vegetable oil and mix well.
  • Fold in the strong flour and mix gently.
  • Pour the batter into a mould and bake at 340F/170C for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 150C.
  • Bake for an additional 40 to 45 minutes.
  • After baking, take it out of the oven and remove the castella from the mould quickly while it's still hot.
  • Cover the surface with cling film.
  • Stretch the cling film tightly to avoid wrinkling.
  • Flip over and wrap the castella with cling film.
  • Leave to rest on a flat surface with the top flipped down to cool.
  • Put the castella in the fridge to rest (for 2 to 3 days if possible).
  • To slice, first slowly peel off the cling film without damaging the surface.
  • Cut off 1 cm along the edge and then cut in half.
  • (For every slice, moisten your knife with a wet tea towel.)
  • Slice as thickly as you like and serve.
  • Use this mould made with newspaper and you will have an authentic form of castella.
