Critical Success Points

  • Let the dough rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Cook the pastry cream without letting it boil, stirring constantly.
  • Properly seal the cake edges to prevent cream leakage.
  • Bake at 180 °C until a uniform golden color is achieved.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot milk can cause burns – handle with care.
  • The saucepan must be watched during the cream cooking to prevent it from sticking or burning.
  • Use kitchen gloves when removing the hot ring.
  • Rum is flammable – avoid any contact with an open flame.
