Babas 12 Hour Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the first 5 ingredients together well and pour into a greased casserole dish.
• In a bowl put the next 4 ingredients, mix well.
• Pour into casserole dish on top of first ingredients, bake at 350 for half an hour.

Steps:

• Prepare the dough: Put yeast and sugar in a medium bowl and stir in ¼ cup lukewarm water. Leave for 10 minutes, until mixture is bubbly. Add eggs and salt to the yeast mixture, and whisk together.
• In a medium mixing bowl, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add the egg-yeast mixture and drained raisins, and beat with a wooden spoon, mixing well to make a soft, sticky dough. (Alternatively, prepare the dough in a stand mixer.) Cover bowl and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Butter 2 mini-muffin tins or 12 mini ramekins. Uncover dough, dust lightly with flour and turn out onto a clean work surface. Add flour as necessary to make dough manageable and knead lightly to make a large, slightly sticky ball. Cut the dough into 12 pieces of equal size (about 2 ounces/55 grams). Dust each with flour, roll each into a ball and place in muffin tins or ramekins. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the syrup: Put honey, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and orange zest in a medium saucepan. Add 1 1/2 cups/360 milliliters water and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve. Lower heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in vanilla and rum, turn off heat and let syrup cool to room temperature.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake babas until lightly browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn babas out of their molds and onto a baking sheet, and return to the oven for 5 minutes to brown all over, as necessary. Remove and cover babas with a clean towel to keep them soft. (Store, cooled, in an airtight container at room temperature if making in advance.)
• About 2 hours before serving, place babas, top-side down, in a deep baking dish. Pour syrup over and let soak. Turn babas over a few times in syrup - they should get quite soggy.
• Prepare the whipped cream: With a whisk, hand-held beaters or in a stand mixer, whip cream to very soft peaks. Add sugar and whip lightly, leaving mixture soft.
• To serve, place one or two babas in a low soup plate. Spoon over a little more syrup, and splash on about a tablespoon of rum. Serve a big spoonful of whipped cream on the side. If desired, garnish with a strip of orange zest, plucked from the syrup.

Steps:

• In a casserole dish add, sugar,flour,baking powder, and soda mix with a fork to blend then add milk. Stir until everything is incorporated.
• In a seperate bowl mix water, sugar, and nutmeg.
• Using a large spoon pour the water mixture over the spoon and onto the dough mixture gently so as not to disurb the dough.
• Place in oven and bake for 1/2 hour. Cake will bake and rise above the sauce mixture.

Steps:

• Cream egg yolks, butter, flour, sugar, salt and flavoring well over very low heat on the stovetop. Gradually add milk. Cook at medium temperature on stove until "thick enough". Stir frequently.
• Make layer of bananas and wafers in bottom and up sides of an oven proof bowl or dish. Pour half of thickened pudding mixture over this.
• Make a second layer of bananas and wafers. Pour remaining pudding over this.
• Whisk 2 egg whites at high speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar. Add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until peaks form. Spread on top of pudding mixture making peaks. Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes.
• Serve at room temperature or chilled.
