- Savarin
-
- 1/4 ounce (7 1/2 g) package active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup (50 ml) tepid water
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 ml) tepid milk
- 2 cups (1/2 liter) sifted flour
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) salt
- 10 tablespoons (150 ml) butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (175 ml) sugar syrup, flavored with 1 teaspoon (5 ml) strained
- fresh lemon juice and 1/4 cup (150 ml) rum
-
- Sugar syrup
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
-
- Stir the sugar and water together in a heavy saucepan over medium heat
- until the sugar dissolves. Wipe down and stray sugar crystals that
- cling to the sides of the pan. When the sugar is dissolved, bring to
- a boil, then remove from heat. Dip base in ice water to stop cooking.
-
-
- Soften the yeast in the tepid water with 1 teasoon (5 ml) of the sugar.
- When the mixture is foamy -- after about 10 minutes -- add the remaining
- sugar and the tepid milk. Stir in the flour and the eggs and beat about
- two minutes. Cover the bowl, and let the dough rise in a warm place until
- it has doubled in bulk. Punch down the dough, add the salt and melted
- butter, and work these ingredients into the dough. Put the dough into a
- well-buttered ring mold or large savarin mold, filling it two thirds full,
- or put it into eight individual buttered ring molds or baking cups or
- small savarin molds, filling each two thirds full. Cover the dough, and
- let it rise until it fills the mold or molds. Bake in a preheated 400F
- (200C) oven. A large ring will need about 25 minutes, small cakes about
- 15. Either can be tested for doneness by inserting a tester into the
- center; when it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Invert the hot savarin onto a serving plate and pour the rum syrup over
- it.
-
- The center may be filled with ice cream or whipped cream or fruits such
- as pitted black cherries, berries, or sliced bananas, apricots or peaches,
- or sliced pineapple, orange segments, sliced kiwi, strawberries and green
- grapes. Glaze fruit with apricot jam that has been heated and strained.
