Cooking Tonight #5

[Nicos]

Snoop Puss ^^^^ yep, soaked in orange juice, and Calvados( apple brandy) in place of the rum…and of course, being on a diet I like to add a big splodge of thick cream in place of some of the milk
I always add a decent glug of vanilla essence into anything sweet and eggy too. Well…why not eh?
Replacing with some almond flour sounds a brill idea!( espesh if it’s got almond essence in it!

Oh my…we’re creating new recipes here..yummy yum!

I wonder what we could do to make it more Xmassy?…cinnamon……

What I like is that it’s not got pastry, and it’s a bit more solid than a typical egg custard.

Roast chicken. Maybe some cabbage as well as all the usual stuff.

Snoop, I had to google Far breton. It looks delicious.

Really good, GF. Smelled amazing in the oven. In the end, I used this recipe for the ingredients (sort of) https://www.meilleurduchef.com/en/re...ar-breton.html but the method from a book I've got. Some big fat fancy French patisserie book, but even I could see the ingredients were wrong. And a third book for the temperatures and baking time. Anyway the above ingredients but didn't soak in the tea and rum as my prunes are quite soft and sticky. So, whisk the sugar and eggs till pale, add flour and fold in, followed by melted butter, lukewarm milk and lastly the rum. Pour over the prunes in the bottom of the dish. Bake at 200 ºC for ten minutes than turn down to 180 ºC for another half hour or so. Those ingredients make a generous eight portions in my view (and I like generous portions )

Is the above pretty much what you do, Nicos? I bet it's absolutely amazing with dried apricots. What did you soak them in? Orange juice? Possibly with some almond flour in the mix rather than all wheat? What do you reckon?

Edited to say: although it looks burnt in the photo, it wasn't in real life.
