Preparation
How to cook a rum baba? First you need to make a dough for the dough beforehand. To do this, take fresh yeast and rub it with a small amount of sugar. Then add a little warm water, stir well and pour gradually flour. All the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, covered with food film and put in heat for about 2 hours. If you notice that the fermentation process is taking place too quickly, then move the sponge to a different place, where it is slightly cooler. After the specified time, it should increase approximately 3 times.
So, when the opara is ready, you can proceed directly to preparing the test for the rum woman. Take a bowl and beat in it an egg and yolk with vanillin and sugar until a lush white foam. Butter slightly melt and add to the egg mass. Then gently pour the previously prepared spoon and gradually pour the flour mixed with the salt. All carefully mix and knead smooth and soft dough. Cover it with a food film and put it in a warm place for lifting for 45 minutes. Do not forget that during this time, you should at least twice crumble the dough, just when it will increase by 2 times. Then we divide it into identical portions and lay them into special molds pre-lubricated with vegetable oil. The dough should take about 1/3 of the mold. Leave them for about 30 minutes, and this time we turn on and warm up the oven thoroughly.
How can I bake a rum babu? Everything is very simple. Bake the cakes for 25 minutes at 180 ° C until completely ready. Then gently take the mold out of the oven and cool it well. Without wasting time, we will deal with you preparing impregnation for the rum woman.
Pour the water into the ladle and put it on the fire. As soon as it boils, add sugar and cook on low heat until it completely dissolves and the mass does not decrease by approximately 10%. Then turn off, remove the ladle from the fire, cool and pour rum or cognac. All carefully mix and set aside.
Now is the time to make the icing for the rum woman. Water boil with sugar and boil over high heat to a temperature of 108 ° C. Then gently pour the lemon juice and cook for another 30 minutes to a temperature of 115 ° C. Then turn off the syrup and leave to cool to 60 ° C. Now beat it until a white, thick mass forms.
Once all this is done, you can proceed to the final stage. Take the cooled cupcakes for the top and let them sink in a syrup for impregnation for 5 minutes. After that, we spread them on the plate upside down, so that the syrup thoroughly permeated the whole product.
Then comes the turn of the frosting. We take the woman and lower her bottom in a white warm glaze. Spread on a beautiful dish and decorate the top with nuts, berries or fruit to taste.
Of course, the recipe of a rum grandmother is not for beginners at all. But if you have the desire and perseverance, then you have all chances to pamper yourself with juicy and delicate pastries.
