Recipe: (Makes 8) ❣Dont scale down trust me it will get over in the blink of an eye. Raisins - 100gms Soak it in 1/4 cup of Dark Rum ✌(Okay you can add a little more.. lol) Dry Yeast- 1 tbsp Water/Milk - 3 tbsp Sugar - 1 tsp (Mix all these together in a bowl, to activate the yeast) Flour(Maida) - 2 cups(250gms) Salt - a pinch Lemon zest - from 1 no Orange zest - from 1 no Eggs - 3 nos beaten well Soft butter- 1/2 cup(100gms) By the time you take out the dry ingredients, the yeast mixture would have bubbled. Add the yeast mix, and beaten eggs to the flour, add the butter. Mix well, you'll get a very soft sticky dough. Bring it all together. Leave it covered, for it to raise(30mins approx should do) After you see the dough has doubled in size add the raisins(drain from the rum and keep aside) 🤦♀️Do not drink that rum at this stage, not yet Mix with a spatula. Portion out equally into 8 to fill 8 baba moulds or one big cake tin, will also do. Leave it covered in the mould for another 20 mins. Preheat your oven at this stage to 200°C. Once the baba has risen to the brim of your mould. Put in for baking for 15-20 mins. Mine came out in 20 mins, so keep check on your oven temperature. 🤤Now you'll prepare the Rum Syrup when the babas are baking😍 Rum - hopefully that 1/4 cup you didn't gulp down. Sugar - 2 cups Water - 3 cups Vanilla - 1 tsp Bring sugar and water to a boil, to make a sugar syrup. Switch off add the rum, and vanilla. Once the baba is baked. Take it out of the mould and soak each baba in the rum syrup. Drain and keep on a rack. 💟Wait for it to cool down before you can devour it. Also helps get the flavours soaked in. ✅ Patience is the key. Let me know of you try out the recipe. 🥃Cheers! #babaaurum #babaaurhum #polishpastry #pastrychef #pastrychefathome #pastrychef_team #frenchchefs #oldmonkrum #oldmonk #oldmonkcooks #oldmonklovers #oldmonkdiaries #darkrumdiary #darkrumcake #yeastcakes #leavenedcake #leavened #easybakes #polishstory #foodhistory #culinaryhistory #laroussegastronomique #recipewithrum #cookingwithrum #frenchpastriesarethebest #babaaurhumcake #stanislasleszczynski #marieantoinecarême #carême #cookalongwithchefsandhya https://www.instagram.com/p/CCxl7qXJjKu/?igshid=1tiy3ddh2v6wo
