Crunchy Feet
Ingredients
Directions
These tiny cakes are Warren Brown’s clever solution to utilize excess batter.
To make, use small brioche pans (or a muffin pan fitted with liners). Coat brioche pans liberally with nonstick-flour spray; fill each with about ¼ cup batter. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool 3 minutes, then unmold. The crunchy feet tend to stick in the brioche pans, so Warren employs his “slam” technique for unmolding: Cover the baking sheet and brioche pans with the bottom of a second baking sheet, invert, and slam both pans onto the counter. The brioche pans should lift right off the crunchy feet.
