- Preparation: 1455 min
- Cooking: 60 min
- Makes: 1 serving (111 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 60 g Milk, whole
- 20 g Sugar
- 15 g Flour, all-purpose
- 8 g Egg yolks, raw
- 4 g Butter, unsalted
- 3 g Spirits
- 0.5 g Vanilla extract
Method
- Warm the milk with the butter until melted.
- Whisk the egg yolk with the sugar, then whisk in the flour to a smooth paste.
- Gradually whisk in the warm milk, then the rum and vanilla.
- Chill the batter for at least 24 hours; this rest is essential for the right texture.
