Crêpes

I honestly don’t know a person that would not like crêpes. This amazing lovely thin or gently fluffy pastry can be used in so many ways.

You prefer to have them on sweet or maybe more savoury version? No problem! Or maybe you wish to have them a bit fried or baked? Hmmm… so many amazing ways to have it :)

Use them the way you would with pancakes and tortillas :) make the most out of it and be creative!
This recipe as always comes from Thermomix.

Ingredients:

330g water

230g of milk

2x eggs

25g of oil (any type you wish)

310g of plain flour

pinch of salt

20g of brown sugar

Take a big bowl, add all ingredients in, mix well and leave on a side for around 20-30mins.

After that time the dough should have a consistency of a double cream (so nice and thick).

Take a crêpes pan or just a normal pan, heat it up, turn the heat to medium and then pour in one soup ladle in on the whole bottom part of the pan, moving the pan on the angle helps a lot to make the mixture move around. Leave for maybe 2-3mins or until the crêpe will be coming off the pan and then turn it around using a spatula or by the movement of the pan to flip it upside down in the air. And then leave to cook for another 1-2mins or until lovely and gold.

Move onto a plate and keep doing until you finish the mixture.

Now serve it with whatever you wish - some berry compote? No problem. Maybe chocolate spread and berries or peanut butter and jam and bananas? Or maybe bacon and golden syrup? All of them and way more options to go through :)

Enjoy!

Quickest Birthday Cake

Yes this is the quickest birthday cake I think I’ve ever done in my life.

You probably wondering why you would not find it in the Baking part? Because it is just a trick.
See the ingredients ;)

Ingredients:

2x Cadbury mix cake - bake following instructions (you will need eggs, milk and oil or butter - I always use melted butter)

1x package of Dr Oetker Karpatka cream mix (it’s lovely fluffy white cream that all you need to add is 400ml of milk)

1x tin of cherry in thick gel (also knows as “frużelina”)

1-2x chocolate chips (I’ve used dark and milk ones)

1x ready to go chocolate icing (from Cadbury)

Prepare your cake mix accordingly to the instruction on the box. Leave to cool. (I usually make that night before)

When cake is cool. Cut it on 3 and bottom move to a tray that you wish to have your cake.
You can make your Karpatka cream as the instruction on the package is saying. Try to

Open your cherry in thick gel (frużelina).

Now divide your Karpatka on half. Use the first half to put on top of your base. Cover with half of the cherry in thick gel and sprinkle some chocolate chips on top. Cover with another slice of the cake and repeat the above and cover with final part of the cake and cover with chocolate icing and sprinkle with chocolate chip to decoration.

Leave in fridge for good 1hour just to make sure everything settle in and then simply serve and sing that “Happy Birthday” and enjoy! :)

Here you go guys the quickest Birthday Cake of all! :)
