Ombré Crêpes

Ingredients

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 80g unsalted butter, plus extra for frying
  • 800ml buttermilk
  • Few drops vanilla extract
  • 300g plain flour
  • 90g ground almonds
  • 30g caster sugar
  • 3tsp baking powder
  • 350ml milk
  • 220g Bonne Maman Black Cherry Conserve

Method

Method

  1. Melt the butter over a medium heat. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the melted butter, buttermilk and vanilla. Gradually whisk in the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter. Finally whisk in the milk.

  2. In a separate bowl, mix all the Black Cherry Conserve with one or two tablespoons of the batter, then sieve the mixture.

  3. Separate the remaining batter into 4 bowls. In the first, add 1-2 teaspoons of the sieved Black Cherry Conserve batter mix. Repeat this with bowls 2 and 3, adding more conserve batter each time, so you obtain 3 different shades. Leave the batter in the 4th bowl plain.

  4. Heat a knob of butter in a crêpe pan. When the pan is hot, pour in a ladle of batter, then leave to cook for one minute. As soon as bubbles form on the surface, flip the crêpes and continue cooking for a few minutes until they are nicely browned.

  5. Plate the crêpes, building up a pile, alternating the shades of pink, from the darkest to the lightest.

  6. Serve with the remaining Black Cherry Conserve and fresh fruit.
