In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water to create a clear syrup, then let it cool completely.
2
Whisk the egg yolks thoroughly into the cooled sugar syrup until smooth and well combined.
3
Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour while whisking continuously to prevent any lumps from forming.
4
Stir in the thick coconut milk, melted ghee, and freshly ground nutmeg to create a uniform batter.
5
Preheat your oven's broiler or top heating element to medium-high.
6
Pour a thin layer of the batter into a greased round baking pan and bake under the broiler until golden brown.
7
Remove from the oven, brush lightly with melted ghee, pour another thin layer of batter on top, and broil again.
8
Repeat the layering and broiling process until all the batter is exhausted, ensuring each layer is cooked through.

Allow the bebinca to cool completely in the pan before carefully slicing into wedges.
