Baba Au Rum Recipe Card
French cuisine consists of cooking traditions and practices from France. At one time French cuisine was heavily influenced by Italian cuisine. It was in the 17th century that some chefs led a movement that developed France’s own indigenous style by shifting it away from its foreign influences. Cheese and wine are a major part of the cuisine, playing different roles regionally and nationally, with many variations.
French cuisine was codified in the 20th century as the modern haute cuisine. Knowledge of French cooking has contributed significantly to Western cuisines and its criteria are used widely in Western cookery school boards and culinary education.
French regional cuisine is characterized by its extreme diversity and style. Traditionally, each region of France has its own distinctive cuisine.

Ingredients for Baba Au Rum Recipe
Refined Flour 2 cups
Fresh Yeast 1/3 teaspoon
Yeast Fresh 10 grams
Sugar 1 tablespoon
Egg 4
Milk Optional 100 millilitres
Butter melted 10 tablespoons
Sugar 1/2 cup
Rum Strong / black 1/2 cup
Method
Step 1
Sieve flour with salt and put it in a big mixing bowl. Mix yeast with sugar in one-third cup of lukewarm water. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the dissolved yeast, stir a little, cover and let stand five or six minutes.
Step 2
Beat eggs and add them to the flour and yeast mixture. If necessary add a very little warm milk. Mix well and keep aside to rise for about thirty to forty five minutes in a warm place. Then add melted butter and beat again for five minutes. The batter should not be thin.
Step 3
Put the batter into moulds or individual cups, cover and leave to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size which may take about one hour. Heat oven to 180°C. Bake for about twenty to twenty-five minutes or until light brown in colour. Empty onto a rack to cool.
Step 4
Make the sauce by boiling half cup of water and sugar until quite thick. When cool thin it down with rum, pour this sauce on the cakes and let them soak for fifteen minutes. Garnish with rum soaked cherries, serve cold or flambéed.
