How it is made

Quantities are for 3 people. The steps are in the order you do them.

  1. heat the oven to 190 degrees
  2. butter an oval ovenproof dish, pour in the cream and warm it on the hob: it must be hot when you put the mixture in
  3. whisk the egg whites with the salt and the sugar, without overdoing it: they must stay soft
  4. quickly fold in the yolks, the vanilla sugar and the rum
  5. sprinkle the flour over the top and blend it in with the whisk, in short strokes, so that the foam does not collapse
  6. with a spatula, shape three large pointed mounds in the hot dish, side by side
  7. bake for ten to twelve minutes, until they are golden outside and still soft inside
  8. dust with icing sugar and bring to the table at once, before they sink; some people serve a raspberry sauce alongside
