Savarins

Ingredients

• Savarine batter:
• 6 eggs
• 7 tbsp plain bread crumbs
• 6 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• A pinch of salt
• Syrup:
• 300ml (1 ¼ cups) water
• 200gr (1 cups) granulated sugar
• 10ml (¾ tbsp) rum extract, but really it depends on your taste
• Whipped cream:
• 400ml (14 oz) whipping cream
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• Topping:
• Strawberry jelly (or any flavor your desire)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven at 180°C (356) and bake for 15-20 minutes.
2. Separate the eggs putting the egg yolks in a large bowl.
3. Mix together the yolks, sugar and salt. Set aside.
4. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Slowly incorporate the egg whites, bread crumbs and flour in the yolk mixture with a wooden spoon.
5. To make the savarines, you’ll need baking cups of any size, depending on how big you want them. We used the baking cups in the picture, which are especially made for this, but cupcake ones should work just as well. Preparing the cups, if they are not the paper kind, you need to grease them with butter and then cover them in a thin coat of flour.
6. Syrup: Put the water and sugar in a saucepan to boil until the sugar dissolves. Remove the mixture from the fire and add the rum extract. Dunk the savarines in leaving them there for only a second, without getting them soggy.
