LET’S COOK

How to make it

01

Mix both flours with the sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate and salt in a large bowl.

02

Warm the milk with the syrup until the syrup dissolves.

03

Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon to an even thick batter.

04

Grease a tin, pour in the batter and fill it two-thirds full.

05

Seal the tin with two layers of foil and tie it with string so no steam escapes.

06

Stand the tin in a deep tray of water and bake at 100 °C for twelve hours.

07

Cool it completely in the tin and rest it a day before cutting. Serve with butter.
