There are now more than 80 members who bake Tueday's with Dorie.

This week Peabody of Culinary Concoctions by Peabody has chosen Brioche Raisin Snails . This brioche recipe is different from mine I tried Monday last week.
I followed the recipe with some modifications:

• Contrary to Dorie's recommendation I halved the Golden Brioche recipe and it worked fine.
• I used the seeds of one vanilla bean to flavour the pastry cream
• I whisked the cream in bain marie in a pan with a rounded bottom to prevent a thin layer of cooked egg yolks in the edges
• I omitted the cinnamon sugar for the filling
• I used a length of dental floss to cut the snails

I liked the result and will definitively will bake the snails again. Thanks Peabody for chosing this recipe. But I was a little disappointed by the taste of the flambéed rum raisins. There was not a hint of rum flavour left after baking. Next time I'll soak the raisins over night in rum to save the rum flavour after baking.
