How to Make Pudding
Prepare the Egg Mixture: Separate one egg yolk from the white, reserving the white for later use. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 egg yolk, 3 whole eggs, and 2.12 oz sugar. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Add the Milk: Gradually pour in 1.35 cups milk, continuing to whisk until all ingredients are fully incorporated. If using, add 1 tbsp vanilla for extra flavor.
Strain the Mixture: To ensure a smooth texture, strain the pudding mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a jug. This will remove any bits of egg or foam that might create an uneven texture.
Remove Foam: Use a spoon to skim off any foam that has risen to the top of the mixture. This step is crucial for achieving a silky-smooth pudding.
Pour into Cups: Carefully pour the pudding mixture over the caramel in your prepared cups. Fill each cup nearly to the top.
How to Make Castella Cake
Beat the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 egg white, 1 whole egg, and 1.23 oz sugar. Using an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until it becomes foamy. Increase the speed and continue beating for another 4 minutes until the mixture forms stiff peaks and turns a pale yellow color.
Fold in the Flour: Sift 1.06 oz flour into the beaten egg mixture. Gently fold the flour in with a spatula until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Layer the Batter: Scoop the Castella cake batter on top of the pudding mixture in your cups. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
