Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Biscuit

Sift the flour with the baking powder.
In a saucepan, combine the butter with the milk and heat until the butter melts.
Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the sugar until fluffy and pale.
Add half of the flour mixture and fold gently.
Add the milk mixture and gently fold again.
Add the remaining flour and milk, folding gently each time.
Wrap a cake ring with foil, pour in the batter, and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 2

Prepare the Cream Mixture

Mix all the ingredients together.
Remove the biscuit from the oven and let it cool for 30 minutes.
Poke holes in the biscuit and pour the cream mixture over it.
If you have time, let it sit in the refrigerator. Ideally, let it sit overnight for a perfect texture. However, it's still delicious even after just one hour.
