….. So we had crepes for Breakfast.
The reoccurring theme in any conversation you might have with me would involve 3 things.
1. My love of my childhood
2. My love of being a woman
3. My love of God
My motivation for doing anything in my life comes from my love of life and need to celebrate it.
This is why I'm so excited about being a mother. I'm taking on this challenge with the mission to help William celebrate being alive. I can see already that he really doesn't need much help.
So! A fond memory of my beloved childhood was eating crepes with lemon and sugar for breakfast.
(of course, only on the weekends).
Crepes resonate with my childhood because:
My dear Mother and Father had me quite young (they were 24 and 25) they loved to cook together. They were the first in their friendship group to buy a house and have a family. Every weekend the group brought the parties to our house and mum and dad fed these 20 somethings from their much loved cordon bleu cookery course.
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to make breakfast for my parents and sister at their apartment. Obviously :) all I wanted for breakfast were crepes!
Out came the thermomix and the 30 something year old cordon blue cookery course, book number 13 page 28. Unfortunately the course has been out of print for many years. The recipe for fool proof perfect every time crepes is below.
Basic pancake batter:
115g of Plain Flour
1/2 a teaspoon of Salt
1 egg
1 egg yoke
225ml of milk
30ml (2 tablespoons) of melted butter
Thermomix Method
Sift flour with salt by weighing the flour and dropping the salt into the ™ mixing bowl
5 Seconds / 9 Speed
Add the egg and yoke and pour half the milk in slowly
30 Seconds / 3 Speed
Add melted butter and pour the rest of the milk in
20 Seconds / 3 Speed
The batter should have the consistency of thin cream
For best results leave batter to rest for 30 minutes before using it. We used Mum and Dads 30 something crepe maker.
Enjoy!!
