Recipe
1
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and pale.
2
Gradually stir in the coconut milk, flour, nutmeg powder, and a pinch of salt to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
3
Preheat your oven's broiler or top heating element to medium-high.
4
Grease a round baking pan generously with melted ghee and place a thin layer of batter on the bottom.
5
Bake or broil the first layer until golden brown and firm, about 5 to 7 minutes.
6
Brush the baked layer with a spoonful of melted ghee, pour another thin layer of batter over it, and bake again.
7
Repeat this layering and baking process until all the batter is exhausted, ensuring each layer is nicely browned.

Allow the bebinca to cool completely in the pan before slicing into neat diamond-shaped pieces to serve alongside warm tea.
