Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Necessary ingredients:

For the dough:
- 300 g flour
- 20 g fresh yeast
- 150 ml lukewarm milk
- 50 ml oil
- 50 g butter (melted and cooled)
- 250 g sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- a pinch of salt
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar

For the syrup:
- 200 ml water
- 200 g sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar

For the filling:
- 300 ml liquid cream
- fruit jelly (or mixed berry jam)
- 4 sheets of gelatin
- 3 tablespoons of frozen berries

Preparation steps:

1. Preparing the yeast: Start by making the yeast, an essential step that will give your savarins fluffiness. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of flour, 50 ml of lukewarm milk, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix well, then add the fresh yeast. Let it sit in a warm place for about 10-15 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.

2. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, add the remaining flour and create a well in the center to add the risen yeast. Add the egg yolks, sugar, the remaining milk (100 ml), oil, and melted butter. Knead the dough by hand or with a dough mixer until it becomes elastic and smooth.

3. Let the dough rise: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in volume.

4. Shaping the savarins: Grease the molds with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal portions, shape them into balls, and place them in the prepared molds. Let them rise for another 10-15 minutes.

5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place the savarin molds in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and fluffy. Check with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, they are ready!

6. Preparing the syrup: In a pot, combine water, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Place over heat and let it boil for 5-7 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Let the syrup cool.

7. Filling the savarins: Once the savarins have cooled, cut off the top and generously soak them with the cooled syrup, making sure they are well filled.

8. Preparing the gelatin: In a small pot, add the frozen berries and sugar. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, then add the gelatin sheets that have been soaked in cold water and squeezed. Stir until the gelatin completely dissolves. Let it cool.

9. Preparing the cream: Use a mixer to whip the liquid cream until it becomes firm. Fill each savarin with cream and top with a layer of fruit jelly.

10. Serving: Your savarins are now ready to be enjoyed! You can decorate them with some fresh fruits for an even more appealing look. They are perfect to be served at a party or simply as a family treat.

Practical tips:
- Make sure the flour is of good quality, as this will influence the final texture of the savarins.
- You can experiment with various flavors by adding lemon or orange zest to the dough for an extra taste.
- If you don't have fresh yeast, you can use 7 g of dry yeast, but the rising time may vary.
- Savarins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but they are most delicious within the first 24 hours.

Nutritional benefits:
These savarins contain basic ingredients that provide quick energy, but it's important to consume them in moderation due to their high sugar content. The cream adds calcium and fats, while the berries provide necessary antioxidants to the body.

Savory and nostalgic, each bite will remind you of the beautiful moments of childhood. So, don't hesitate and start making these delicious savarins. Enjoy your meal!
