Raspberries Crumpets

Share

Raspberries Crumpets

You will need the following ingredients (to make enough for two):

For the crumpets:
- A pack of crumpets (if you feel up for it and have time to make your own check out a recipe here)

For the topping:
- 250g of ricotta cheese 
- Zest of one Lemon
- Two tablespoons of honey
- Three handfuls of fresh raspberries
- A pinch of sugar

If like me (on this occasion) you are not making the crumpets from scratch this recipe will only take you five minutes.

1. Put the ricotta, lemon zest and honey in a bowl and whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
2. In a separate owl mash the raspberries together with a fork (keep a few aside to add a final touch).
3. Fold the mashed raspberries into the ricotta mix - but not too much, you want those chunks of raspberries. 
4. Put the mixture aside. Add some butter to the pan and start warming it up.
5. place the crumpets at the centre of the pan and flip over once golden and slightly crispy. You don't have to warm the crumpets in a pan you can toast them, this is just my personal preference.
6. Place crumpets on a plate, add a good spoonful of the ricotta and raspberries mix on top of each crumpet ad a couple of raspberries on top and drizzle with honey. Enjoy

Waffle Ideas

homemade waffles

It is International Waffle Day today. People make waffles strangely to celebrate and mark the start of Spring. Seeing as I make waffles nearly every weekend - we rotate between crêpes, waffles and pancakes - I thought it was about time I shared some of my favourite recipes.

Making the batter for waffles is very similar to making the batter for pancakes - except here the batter is a bit more thick than it would otherwise be.

YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS (ENOUGH FOR TWO):

- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1¾ cups whole milk
- Two tablespoons baking powder
- ½ tablespoon salt
- One tablespoon granulated sugar
- Three eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract (optional
- Any ingredients necessary for your choice of topings

homemade waffles

1. Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in one bowl

2. In a separate bowl beat eggs thoroughly and then whisk in the sugar, milk and oil.

3. Add the above ingredients to the flour mixture and mix everything together gently until fully liquid and combined.

4. Leave mixture to settle for 4-5 minutes and then you are ready to pour into your waffle maker.

5. For the toppings you can add just about anything; chocolate, fruit and maple syrup, sugar and maple syrup, bacon, bacon and sausages...

No one likes a good late breakfast/ brunch on a Sunday more than me. However, a good brunch place is hard to find in Brussels - even if they are starting to pop up slowly - unlike Paris where every restaurant in town seems to be doing brunch now. I can't wait to have my own place again and be able to enjoy large sunday brunches with friends and family. Here are a few ideas from around the web and much more here.

I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me to share with you some of the amazing places I have 'brunched' in Paris in the last couple of months. If you have any great places in Brussels that do a good brunch for when I go back please do let me know. In the meantime check out this list which has some pretty good looking places to check out in Brussels. I hope you had a great weekend!
