Easy and Nostalgic Castella
- 4 Eggs
- 120 grams Strong bread flour
- 120 grams Sugar
- 50 ml Milk
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 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.
