Needing something sweet, I made my version of a crepe suzette after dinner tonight. 15 minutes after having the idea, I was tucking in.
I used this recipe as a base - except that I didn't measure anything. [This is also gorgeous using chick-pea (gram) flour]
At 8.30pm I put the frying pan on a medium heat with a little oil and grabbed a jug and a bag of self-raising flour. Poured about a handful of flour into the jug and added some water - whisked with a spoon, then with a fork. The batter was a little on the thick side, so I added more water and whisked for another minute.
4 minutes later I poured about half of the batter into the frying pan, tilted it so that it covered the base of the pan and adjusted the heat.
After another 4 minutes I turned the pancake over - using a spatula since my cast iron frying pan is just too heavy to flip.
Whilst it was cooking I placed a good dessertspoonful of my home-made ginger marmalade into a dish, added a little water, and stuck it in the microwave for 45-50 seconds.
At 8.42, I turned the pancake over again to give the first side another couple of minutes.
8.44 - slid out the pancake onto a plate, poured the marmalade sauce over the middle of the pancake and drizzled Benedictine over the sauce. Folded the pancake over the filling and poured soya cream over the top.
8.45 tucked in to the Crepe Suzette - sublime!

Sounds yummy !
ReplyDeleteDiscovered this morning that I am truly incompetent when it comes to making pancakes. I just didn't leave them to cook long enough. Ended up with something that looked like a mix of an American style pancake and The Blob - will do them again tonight and cook properly this time. Great recipe tho!
