Day One

Wilt butter, set aside. Bring milk and 25% of sugar to a boil over medium low heat. Sift remaining sugar and flour into a mixer with a whisk attachment. Don’t turn on yet. Combine rum and vanilla. Set aside. Whisk together eggs and yolks in a medium stainless bowl. Temper hot milk into the eggs/yolk mixture.

Add another 25% of the milk and continue mixing on medium speed for 2 minutes. Gradually add the remaining milk until all combined and mix for an additional 2 minutes on low speed. Strain batter into storable container and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour prior to adding vanilla/rum mixture.   Refrigerate overnight.
