👨‍🍳 Preparation

1. 1

   Mix the flour, eggs, margarine, rum flavouring, vanilla, and sugar in a bowl. Ensure the eggs and margarine are at room temperature. Dissolve the yeast in a little warm milk and add it to the mixture. Add a pinch of salt and knead until smooth. Cover with a cotton cloth and let it rise in the oven with the light on until doubled in size.

2. 2

   Prepare the chantilly cream by heating milk, cream, lemon zest, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks and sugar, then add the starch and a little milk with cream. Add the rum and gelatin, then let it cool in a baking dish. Fold in the whipped cream and refrigerate.

3. 3

   After the first rise, divide the dough into 10 equal parts and shape into elongated rolls. Place them on baking sheets lined with damp parchment paper and let them rise again until nearly doubled.

4. 4

   Prepare the rum syrup by dissolving sugar in water over low heat, then add the rum and let it cool.

5. 5

   Brush each bun with a mixture of egg yolk and milk, then bake at 180°C for about 20 minutes.

6. 6

   To fill the pastries, make a shallow cut in the centre of each bun. Add a little rum syrup and fill with chantilly cream. Top with a candied cherry if desired.
