Scaling multiplies the written quantities. Baking still prefers a scale.
Steps
Step 1
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Rub 4 ramekins, about 175ml capacity, or dariole moulds liberally with the soft butter. Sprinkle with the caster sugar to coat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, press the egg yolks through a wire sieve and mix with the coconut milk, sugar, coconut and vanilla. Pour into ramekins and place in a large roasting tin in the oven.
Step 3
Pour water into the roasting tin to three-quarters up the ramekins so it acts like a bain marie or water bath for the quindim. Bake for 30-35 mins until the tops are golden. Take the ramekins out of the water and leave to cool for 5 mins.

Step 4

Substitutions
butter → olive-oil
Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.

Carbonara without egg is not carbonara. Fried rice can skip the egg. We will not pretend otherwise.
