CAFE BRULOT



Cafe Brulot image

Brulot means "burnt brandy" in French. Special fireproof brulot bowls were important tableware in fine New Orleans homes during the 1800s. For a dramatic effect, the lights were dimmed before the mixture was flamed and the coffee added to it. I have not made this (as yet) so the time is a guess.

Bananas Foster Beignets with Cafe Brulot Creme Anglaise image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 3h

Yield approximately 30 beignets

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 1/4 cups whole milk
1/4 cup coarsely ground chicory coffee
6 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
4 large egg yolks, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated pure cane sugar
1 tablespoon brandy
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
3 very ripe bananas (with lots of brown spots)
2 teaspoons banana liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup pure cane granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light brown muscovado sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 to 4 tablespoons whole milk
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, optional

Steps:

  • For the creme anglaise: Combine the milk, chicory, cloves and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, refrigerate and leave to infuse for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Make an ice bath by setting a medium bowl or large measuring cup into a large bowl of ice.
  • Strain the milk mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean, small saucepan; discard the solids. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until very pale and thick. Very gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the eggs. When full incorporated, transfer back to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and add the brandy and orange zest. Switch to a wooden spoon and cook, stirring, until the mixture coats the back of the spoon, about 5 minutes.
  • Strain into the bowl set in the ice bath. Add water to the ice to cool the sauce down faster. Stir the sauce until cool. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
  • For the beignets: Mash the bananas in a large bowl using a potato masher or large fork. Add the banana liqueur, vanilla extract, granulated sugar and muscovado sugar, and mix well. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and pour in the milk. Mix until smooth and thick, like waffle batter, adding a little more milk as needed. Set aside to rest for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  • In a heavy pot set over medium heat, heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. Drop the batter by heaping teaspoonfuls into the oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once when the edges are firm. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately, or keep warm in a 200-degree oven for up to 2 hours.
  • Plate the beignets atop a pool of creme anglaise. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Citrus: Freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice add a bright, vibrant flavor to the Cafe Brulot. Avoid using bottled or store-bought citrus juice.
  • Include Spices and Herbs: The combination of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg adds warmth and complexity to the Cafe Brulot. Additionally, you can experiment with other spices like star anise or cardamom.
  • Use a Heavy Saucepan: A heavy saucepan helps distribute heat evenly and prevents the mixture from burning.
  • Simmer Over Low Heat: Simmering the mixture over low heat allows the flavors to develop and blend without evaporating the alcohol too quickly.
  • Serve Hot: Cafe Brulot is traditionally served hot, so it's essential to keep it warm until ready to serve. You can use a fondue burner or a chafing dish to keep the Cafe Brulot warm on the table.
