I wanted to make a desert using homemade chestnuts simmered in their inner skin.

It is would be fine using a whisk for making the egg yolk mixture. You don't need to worry too much about the egg yolk mixture and just keep stirring it should be fine! For 17 cm [6.7 in] in diameter chiffon cake pan. Recipe by Nana mama chan
