Orange And Rum Babas With Strawberries

Faith is not something we conjure up on our own, nor is it something we are born with, nor is faith a result of diligence in study or pursuit of the spiritual. Ephesians 2:8-9 makes it clear that faith is a gift from God, not because we deserve it, have earned it, or are worthy to have it. It is not from ourselves; it is from God. It is not obtained by our power or our free will. Faith is simply given to us by God, along with His grace and mercy, according to His holy plan and purpose, and because of that, He gets all the glory.

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the syrup, put the sugar and water into a pan and stir over a
low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the orange juice and zest.
Simmer for 5 minutes, remove from the heat, add the rum and allow to
cool.  To make the babas, melt the butter and brush the inside of six
deep  muffin tins or similar moulds. Mix the remaining butter with the
warm  milk and beaten eggs.  In a large bowl mix the flour, salt,
caster sugar and yeast and make  a well in the centre. Pour in the
liquid and stir until the mixture  is the consistency of a thick,
smooth batter.  Divide between moulds and cover with oiled clingfilm.
Rest in a warm place for 1 hour until the dough has risen. Bake in  the
top of a preheated oven 200Â°C, 400Â°F, gas mark 6 for 20 minutes  or
until golden. When the babas are cool transfer to a suitable dish  and
drench with the syrup.  Decorate with slices of strawberry.  Converted
