Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler with a rack in the middle of the oven.

  2. Combine coconut milk and sugar in a bowl until dissolved; whisk egg yolks in a separate bowl until creamy.

  3. Mix the coconut milk mixture with the whisked eggs, then gradually add flour and combine until smooth and lump-free.

  4. Melt 1 tablespoon of ghee in a 6-inch deep baking pan in the preheated oven.

  5. Remove the pan, pour a 1/4-inch layer of batter, and broil until golden.

  6. Take the pan out, add another tablespoon of ghee, then pour a new 1/4-inch batter layer and broil until golden.

  7. Repeat the layering process, adding ghee between each 1/4-inch batter layer, until all batter is used, reserving ghee for the final top layer.

  8. Once baked, invert the bebinca onto a wire rack to cool.

  9. Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with almond slivers, slice, and serve at room temperature or cold.
