Flippin’ wonderful
Pancake day! Whoop!
We were out at the movies (i wouldn’t bother) on Pancake day, and so didn’t have time for a full savoury fillings, sweet fillings bonanza. Instead we headed straight to the sweet stuff.
After sating myself with lemon and sugar (I’m a puritan at heart) I began to experiment. The above creation, is half Nutella (but of course) and half Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Sauce, à la Nigella Express. In the folded together image you can see that the nutella (top fold) is slightly more opaque than the fudge. Flippin’ brilliant it was!
Dougal recently told a friend that he thought the best recipe in Nigella Express was the Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Sauce. He did come up with this rather hastily, but while I would guess I’d disagree about it taking the Gold Award, it probably does feature in my top ten. A Top Ten that I really ought to get round to compiling and sharing with you all…
Are those crepses?
I’m sure when I made the sauce it wasn’t nearly as good as it always seems when you write about it! Hell, that’s why I made it. Or did I cut corners and compromise the recipe? Maybe I will have to try again. There again, maybe I will have to try a diet….
crepes indeed. in scotland we call all such things pancakes. so ’scotch pancakes’/drop scones are also pancakes. and american pancakes are also pancakes, but in that case you *might* specify american. generally the time of day indicates which you mean, so there’s not as much confusion as you might think!
Those lumps of chocolate remind me of something;-0
LOL, Tosha and I had the same thought :-)
I had Nutella and banana in mine.
