Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Sift the all-purpose flour with the baking powder and salt. Add the Parmesan cheese, semolina and pepper.

Place in a bowl, making a well in the center. Pour in the butter, egg yolks and milk and mix vigorously.

Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold in.

Spoon into a greased, round eight-inch cake pan and bake in the pre-heated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until firm and browned.

Serve cut into four to six pieces as an hors d'oeuvre with drinks or as a bread with stews to mop up the sauce, or merely toasted.
