METHOD:
1. To make the Pudding Mixture, heat milk in a saucepan. In a bowl, mix together eggs, egg yolk, granulated sugar, honey, and brandy without incorporating air into the mixture. Add in the heated milk and mix before straining through a mesh strainer. Make sure to warm the mixture before pouring in step 6.
2. In a saucepan, heat granulated sugar and water.
3. Remove from the heat once the mixture turns brown. Pour into a cake pan and let chill until hardened.
4. Add eggs, sugar, and honey to a bowl. Whisk over a double boiler.
5. Once the mixture is stiff enough to form peaks, sift in bread flour and gently fold in to mix.
6. Pour in the warmed Pudding Mixture into the cake pan from step 3, then add the Castella Batter from step 5.
7. Flatten its surface and bake in a double boiler at 160°C for 60 minutes.
8. Bring the cake to room temperature gradually before refrigerating. Remove from the pan.
