Preparation method
- In a blender, process all the batter ingredients until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous mixture, ensuring there is no lingering egg scent.
- Grease a baking dish with butter and lightly dust it with flour.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish.
- Evenly spread your chosen filling over the base layer of batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the top to cover the filling.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake until golden brown and firm. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of your baking dish.
