- Separate the eggs and whisk the yolks with the sugar until pale and doubled.
- Mix in the melted butter and flour, then gradually whisk in the warm vanilla milk.
- Beat the whites to soft peaks and fold in gently, leaving some lumps.
- Pour the very thin batter into a lined pan.
- Bake at 150°C (300°F) for 50 minutes until golden and just set.
- Cool completely before unmolding so the three layers set.
