Recipe Notes :

• To check if the bebinca is ready, insert a skewer, if it comes out clean its ready, since its potato bebinca the Skewer will be a bit sticky.
• The bebinca should not be wobbly, in the middle, if it is , lower the temperature and bake for some more time untill well done.
• While baking the bebinca, it will rise high. Don't worry it will settle down, when it is left for cooling in the tray. 
• You can also use Cardamom powder instead of nutmeg powder.
