- 3 Egg yolks
- 1/2 Orange
- 60 grams Plain flour
- 50 grams Butter
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Baking powder
- 1 Orange curacao
- Brush the moulds with butter and sprinkle with strong flour (not listed).

- Stir the mixture and you'll have runny batter.
- Leave to rest in the fridge for one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 200C.
- Pour the batter into the moulds and fill 80% of each mould.
- This batter does not expand a lot.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 180C and put the molds in the oven to bake for 15-18 minutes.
- When a skewer inserted comes out clean, it is done.
- After they're finishing baking, brush the surface with curacao liqueur.
- If you slice in half you can see a golden cake that's very aromatic.
- After they cool, cover with cling film to make them moist.
- If you plan to freeze them, wrap with cling film tightly and put in a freezer bag.
- Squeeze out excess air from the bag and chill in the freezer.
- Before you eat, leave at room temperature to defrost.
- You can enjoy the fluffiness and aroma right after they're done, and enjoy a matured taste the following day.
