Chocolate Mousse

 

 Ingredients

  • 100ml  Full fat milk
  • 1 stick of Cinnamon
  • 250g  Plain chocolate 
  • 300ml  Double cream
  • 3 large  Egg white

 

How to Make it?

1. Put the milk and cinnamon stick in a small pan and warm over a medium heat until the milk is almost boiling. Take the pan off the heat and set aside.

2. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Take the bowl of the pan and leave to cool a little.


3. Strain the warm milk on to the melted chocolate and stir together to completely smooth. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.


4. Whip the cream until it begins to hold its shape. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture with a large metal spoon, then carefully unfold the egg whites. Spoon the mixture into six 150ml (1/4 pint) bowls or glasses and chill for 4 hours or over night.

Pancake



 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, stirred before measuring
  • 2 1/2 tsp  Baking powder
  • 3 tbsp  Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp  Salt
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups Fresh milk
  • 2 tbsp  Melted butter

 

How to Make it?

  • Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. 
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 1/2 cups of milk; add to flour mixture, stirring only until smooth. Blend in melted butter. If the batter seems too thick to pour, add a little more milk. 
  • Cook on a hot, greased griddle, using about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbly, a little dry around the edges, and lightly browned on the bottom; turn and brown the other side. 

Tips: 
         - Eat the pancake with honey, syrup or make your own creation.
