Instructions:
Prepare the dough:
Heat the wet ingredients:
In a saucepan, mix 100 ml milk, 100 ml water and 80 g butter. Add 1/2 tsp salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the flour:
When the mixture starts to boil, add 150g flour and 1 tsp baking powder.
Stir continuously until the mixture comes away from the sides of the pan and forms a smooth dough.
Allow the dough to cool slightly.
Add the eggs:
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
Add the eggs one at a time to the dough, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth.
Bake the layers:
Line a 25cm baking tin with baking paper.
Pour half of the batter into the tin and spread evenly.
Bake in a static oven at 200°C (392°F) for 20 minutes in the middle-lower part of the oven. Do not open the oven during baking.
Repeat for the second layer.
