Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat 4 egg yolks with 1 cup of granulated sugar until pale and creamy, about 3-5 minutes. Add 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, mixing well. Gradually pour in 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of sifted all-purpose flour, whisking until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip 4 egg whites until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula, making sure not to overmix.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch square baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 40-45 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and cool in the dish for at least 30 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm or chilled.
