  3. Whisk together the egg yolks and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl until pale and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour while gently mixing to combine.
  5. Warm the milk and melted unsalted butter until lukewarm, then slowly add to the batter while stirring continuously.
