Whisk the whole eggs and mix in sugar. Combine with the milk mixture and strain.

5

Make the castella sponge by warming heavy cream with honey.

Whisk the whole egg with sugar until pale and fluffy. Mix in rice flour.

Pour the pudding mixture into the caramel-filled cups, then pour in the castella batter.
