Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup semolina flour
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup milk

Steps:

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.
