  3. I added my thick cream in top of my first layer..

  4. Now for the last layer, add your 1/4 of warm milk to the remaining mix and continue mixing until it soften. Then pour it in top of your cream layer..

  5. Pre-heat your oven to 180C (355F) bake for 15 mins, broil for 5-7 mins until golden. (If using a whole pan, probably you will need to broil for additional mins just keep an eye).

  6. Pour your favorite syrup in top (Sugar, Condensed milk…) and enjoy it.
