Ingrédients

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 packet packet active dry yeast

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup water

1 cup sugar (for syrup)

1/2 cup rum

1/4 cup limoncello

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Whipped cream, cream, for garnish

Fresh mint mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, melted butter, and the yeast mixture.
Mix until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a mixer.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or baba molds.
Punch down the dough and divide it into the prepared molds, filling each about halfway.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the babas are baking, prepare the syrup by combining water, sugar, rum, limoncello, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
Once the babas are baked, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly. Soak the babas in the warm syrup, turning them to ensure they absorb as much syrup as possible.
Serve the rum babas topped with whipped cream and garnished with fresh mint leaves.
