On Saturday, my hubby and I decided to go and get the DVD of Julie and Julia to watch at night. I wouldn't really say it's a very good and must see movie, but I did enjoy it! It's lighthearted, sweet, and inspiring and most importantly it's about beautiful food!!! The bit about de-boning a duck in the movie, I don't think I'd ever bother to do something so complicated! Julie was very brave and determined indeed!
As a tribute to the movie, I decided to make dessert for the night. It's very rare that I make dessert for just the 2 of us!!!! I guess because the movie was quite inspiring, and all of a sudden my sweet tooth decided to wiggle inside my mouth!!
To keep things simple, I made crepe! And I had a couple of figs in the fridge, which i thought it would go well with the crepe, at least better than the boring banana crepe!
Ingredients:
1 egg
160ml milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
75g plain flour
Whisk the egg, milk and vanilla extract together, then pour over the top of the flour, and whisk well. Lightly oil the pan, and pour in a ladle of crepe mixture. Cook until you've browned both sides.
The crepe was nice, it's something small, and was just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. But I think i can make it a little thinner next time! And maybe I can spread it with nutella, and sprinkle it with hazelnuts as well!!!!! =) Any suggestions witih crepe fillings?? Feel free to let me know! Recently I saw a bottle of cookies and cream sauce on the shelf, I wonder whether it will taste any good with crepes!!!
I saw the Parisian serving just sugar and lemon juice as fillings and I tried and it was surprising good... but the crepes needs to be very crisp for it to taste nice
ReplyDeleteOK... I'll give it a go next time.... but wouldn't the lemon juice soften the crispy crepe???
