3. Pour the mixture into a rectangle baking pan coated with baking paper and bake for about 20-25 minutes at 180 C degrees. Let the biscuit to cool down a little and then stab it with a toothpick all over so it can later soak the milk better. Remove the biscuit from the pan together with the baking paper.
4. Then, pour the cream in the same pan, spread it all over and return the biscuit in the pan with the upper part turned down. Again stab the biscuit with a toothpick and let stand for 15 minutes.
