2 cups milk lukewarm

It will be hard to fold them, but just keep trying until you no longer have large egg white clumps. Pour batter into baking dish and bake for approx 60 minutes or until the top is lightly golden.
Cool to room temp and then chill.
Dust heavily with powdered sugar.
Enjoy this spectacular and magical treat!
