METHOD
- Grate the orange zest on the sugar cubes; crush them and combine them with the powdered sugar.
- Heat the milk to lukewarm; add the yeast and dissolve it well.
- Arrange the flour in a well in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Gradually mix in, using a wooden spoon, the warm milk-yeast mixture, then the melted butter, egg yolks, almond powder and orange-scented sugar.
- When the dough is very smooth, cover it and let it rise in a warm place for 6 hours.
- Punch down the dough and gently form into strips about 20 cm (8") long and the width of a finger. Form into rings by pinching the two ends together.
Two-stage cooking
- In a large pot, bring some water to a boil and immerse the rings of dough, watching that they don't stick together. When they rise to the surface, drain them and transfer them to a buttered baking sheet.
- Beat 2 whole eggs and brush the gimblettes. Place into a preheated 180° C (350° F) oven and bake until nicely browned.
- Soften the milk jam in a double boiler and stir in the rum. Serve this sauce with the gimblettes.
CHEF'S NOTES
Gimblettes are a specialty of Albi that date bake several centuries. They are ring-shaped, flavored with grated lemon and orange flower water and sometimes sprinkled with sugar and candied citron.
