Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and butter a round or square tin of about 22 cm.
  2. In a bowl, mix the corn flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. In another container, whisk the eggs with the milk, melted butter and fresh cheese until you get a smooth cream.
  4. Pour the liquid ingredients over the flour and stir with a spoon until you have a soft, slightly sticky dough.
  5. Fold in the soft cheese cut into small cubes, along with the anise seeds if you're using them.
  6. Pour the dough into the tin and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let it cool for 10 minutes before unmolding, and enjoy it while still warm.

Variations and tips

Savoury version with ham. Add 100 g of thinly sliced cooked ham to the dough for a more filling meal.
