Chocolate praline crêpes

Pancake day is imminent. A day where you are overwhelmed with the towers of Nutella and ready-mix packs as your enter the supermarkets. I have never made pancakes, the American style. In both England and in Brazil they are called pancakes but are made à la French, much thinner. The English tradition is to add lemon juice and sugar to your pancake, but I am partial to a crunchy praline. I am embarrassed to say I make praline waaay too often. At one point I had a huge jar in my cupboard and would sprinkle it on everything – from yoghurts to cakes. This praline cream game is strong and has definitely become a favourite. Chocolate praline crêpes (serves 5-6) For the praline cream 150ml whole milk 100ml double cream 3 egg yolks 3 tbsp cornflour 2 tbsp plain flour 100g mixed nuts 100g sugar 1. Line a baking tray with baking paper – i used a silicone mat. Cook sugar in a pan, stirring, for 5 minutes or until sugar has dissolved. 2. Once sugar has turned into an amber colour add nuts and stir to cover them with sugar. Pour onto prepared tray and allow to cool 3.

Crème fraîche raspberry ice cream with praline cones

Although I have been longing to use the kitchen I really haven’t had much time. I know I always go on about how busy I am, but until the wedding comes and goes it’s only going to get busier. I have palpitations just thinking about it.  But there’s no time like the present, my studies are winding down before exams start up so I can spend more time in the kitchen now, guilt-free. Plus I am home alone, with my husband-to-be working in the high seas, so all the whirlwind of food projects in my head make me have something to look forward to when I get home. To get in the zone I downloaded some cheesy soap operas (guilty pleasure) and set my laptop up in the kitchen to finally get to work with my favourite new ingredient: crème fraîche. This is my heaven: trashy tv in the kitchen.  I always saw crème fraîche standing next to the double and single creams in the chilled area but due to a fear of the unkown I never picked it up. Then I had a dollop of it served to me on a berry cake, well now I am I am making for
