Critical Success Points

  • Whisking the egg‑sugar mixture until double volume
  • Reach exactly 60 °C for the milk and butter
  • Chill the batter in the refrigerator (minimum 2 h)
  • Thermal shock: very cold batter + very hot oven
  • Use metal molds to amplify the thermal shock

Safety Warnings

  • The milk and butter are heated to 60 °C: handle with kitchen gloves.
  • The oven reaches 200 °C: wear oven mitts when placing and removing the molds.
  • Hot molds can burn skin; let them cool slightly before unmolding.
