Classic Crème Brûlée

These crème brûlées are so creamy they make just the perfect dessert. Egg yolks, sugar and cream flavoured with vanilla make the creamy custard, and it’s topped with brittle caramel.

I have shared two methods for creating the caramelized topping, one using a chef’s blowtorch and the other using the grill/broiler.

Classic Crème Brûlée

Prepares: 6 servings

Preparation time: 25–40 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Cooling time: 2 hours
Refrigeration time: 6 hours or overnight, plus 2 hours on day of serving
Ingredients
For the custard
butter, for greasing
 4 eggs, large (U.K.)/extra large (N.A.), yolks only
 40g (1½ oz) caster/superfine sugar (3 tbsp)
 ½ tsp vanilla extract
300ml (10 fl oz) single/table cream (1¼ cups)
 300ml (10 fl oz) double/whipping or heavy cream (1¼ cups)
For the topping 
4–6 tbsp golden caster/superfine sugar, if using a chef’s blowtorch
100g (3½ oz) caster sugar/superfine sugar (½ cup), if not using a chef’s blowtorch
You will also need 6 x 150ml (5 fl oz) (⅔ cup) heatproof ramekins

Method
For the custard
Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F) gas 3.
Lightly grease ramekins with butter and put to one side.
Boil a kettle of water. Meanwhile, line a deep-sided ovenproof dish or small roasting tin/pan with a layer of kitchen paper and sit the six ramekins on the paper (the paper prevents the ramekins from slipping).
Next pour both creams into a pan and heat until scalding. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little.
While the cream is cooling, put the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract into a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Then gradually pour in the cream, while whisking at the same time, until the cream and egg mixture is blended together. Strain the custard into a jug and then divide amongst the six ramekins.
Carefully pour enough of the boiling water into the ovenproof dish or roasting tin/pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. Check after 20 minutes as the custard still needs to have a slight wobble to it. Remove the dish from the oven and leave the ramekins in the water until the water has cooled.
Now take the ramekin dishes out of the water, cover them and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
For the topping, using a chef’s blowtorch
Sprinkle 2–3 teaspoons of sugar evenly over the custard in each ramekin. The sugar needs to cover the custard completely.
Now caramelize the sugar under a direct flame.
Leave to cool and then refrigerate for two hours before serving.
For the topping, without using a chef’s blowtorch
First, have a piece of parchment paper ready on the counter top. Next, put the sugar in a stainless steel pan and add just enough water to dampen the sugar. Place over a low heat and stir the sugar until completely dissolved. Then increase the heat to medium–high. Without stirring, leave the sugar to bubble fiercely. When the bubbling lessens and the sugar has turned a pale straw colour it will be ready. Carefully, pour the caramel onto the paper (it will be extremely hot) and leave it to become cold.
Now turn on the grill/broiler to high and leave for 5 minutes to become really hot.
The caramel will have hardened on cooling. Break it into small pieces and blitz in a food processor or blender until there are really fine granules (finer than caster sugar). Sprinkle evenly over the custard in each ramekin, right to the edge, so that the custard is completely covered.
Put the ramekins on a baking tray and place under the heat source, as close as possible. Cook for less than a minute, not letting the sugar burn. The heat just needs to melt the sugar.
Leave to cool and then refrigerate for two hours before serving.

Baked Fish with Tomatoes and Tasty Breadcrumbs

Prepares: 4 servings (picture shows 2)

Preparation time: 35–45 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes (oven)
Ingredients
¾ cup rice
4 x 140g (5 oz) white fish fillets, skinned (e.g. haddock)
fresh or dried thyme
freshly ground black pepper
60ml (2 fl oz) white wine (¼ cup)
4 small tomatoes
½ onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
55g (2 oz) butter (¼ cup, or ½ stick)
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (about 2 slices of bread)
7g (¼ oz) fresh parsley, finely chopped (should yield about ¼ cup)
½ lemon
To serve
Seasonal vegetables
You will also need an ovenproof dish, greased. It should be large enough to lay the fish in a single layer.

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) gas 4.
Bring rice to the boil in 360ml (12 fl oz) (1½ cups) lightly salted water. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. For brown rice simmer for 15 minutes and for white rice simmer for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove the skin from the tomatoes by putting them in a bowl, covering with boiling water and then leaving for one minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and gently peel away the skin. (It should come away very easily.) Set aside.
Once the rice has finished simmering for the appropriate time, spread the rice and the remaining water from the pan over the base of the ovenproof dish. (It will not be fully cooked at this point.)
Lay the fish over the rice in a single layer. Then pour over the wine and lightly season with thyme and pepper.
Slice the tomatoes and arrange on top.
Next melt the butter in a frying pan/skillet. Add the onion and garlic and cook over a low heat until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
Mix in the breadcrumbs and parsley.
Now scatter the crumb mixture over the tomatoes.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for a further 10 minutes until the fish is cooked through and the topping is crisp and golden.
Cut the lemon into four slices and use to garnish.

The apples in this cobbler bring a softness to the mix of fruit and the addition of the port gives it a fullness of flavour. As well, the sprinkling of demerara sugar over the balls of dough creates a crunch as it bakes in oven.

Baked Cod Provençal

September 22, 2019 by Angie In Dinners, Fish Tagged tomatoes, cod, garlic, peppers, provencal Leave a comment

When we were grocery shopping this week, our fish counter was displaying some wild cod and it looked so good – really white and chunky. I couldn’t resist buying some and I cooked it making a provençal dish. It certainly didn’t disappoint.

It is not often we see wild fish to buy here in Canada, the main one we do see being wild pacific salmon, but I buy it when I can because there is certainly a difference. Once I found out how farmed fish was produced, with all its potential toxins, it made me realise just how much we have forgone quality for quantity. But that’s another story.

Anyway, we enjoyed our fish supper and hope you will want to try it too.

Summer Berry Crêpes

September 22, 2019 by Angie In Desserts Tagged cream, pancakes, berries, raspberries, crepes, strawberries, blackberries, redcurrants 1 Comment

I love making crêpes to fill with summer fruits. They are so light and make a really impressive summer dessert.

Crêpes aren’t difficult to make. My tip is to start off with a really hot pan and then turn the heat down a little. The pan only needs to be smeared with melted butter between cooking each one. It should just glisten, not be running with the butter.

I hope you will want to try them and enjoy them too.

Summer Berry Crêpes

Thin, light, crêpes are filled with a selection of delicious summer berries, then topped with velvety, whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Summer Berry Crêpes

Prepares: Makes 8 × 8 inch crêpes to serve 4

Preparation time: 25 minutes
Standing time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
For the crêpes
115g (4 oz) plain flour/all-purpose flour (⅔ cup + 2 tbsp)
pinch salt
2 eggs, large (U.K.)/extra large (N.A.)
300ml (10 fl oz) semi-skimmed milk (2%) (1¼ cups) OR
240ml (8 fl oz) full fat/whole milk (1 cup) plus 60ml (2 fl oz) water (¼ cup)
55g (2 oz) butter (¼ cup, or ½ stick)
For the filling
450g (1 lb) selection of fresh berries, such as blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, redcurrants, or strawberries
300ml (10 fl oz) double cream/whipping or heavy cream (1¼ cups)
28g (1 oz) plain/dark chocolate
You will also need a shallow-rimmed, lightweight pan, 20–23cm (8–9inch) in diameter with rounded sides.

Method
Pop the chocolate in the freezer while preparing the rest of the recipe. It will make it easier to grate into shavings later.
Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Break the egg into the well and, using half the milk, gradually whisk the egg and milk into the flour, using a balloon whisk. Once a smooth consistency is reached and lots of bubbles rise to the surface, add the rest of the milk quickly. Do not over-mix.
Or use an electric mixer. First mix the egg and milk together then mix in the sifted flour and salt until the batter is smooth and lots of bubbles rise to the surface. Be careful not to over-mix.
Let batter rest for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, wash the fruit and pat dry.
Then whip the cream until thick.
Now warm 5 plates in the oven.
Get the pan really hot. Remove from the heat and add the butter. Once it has melted, spoon 2 tablespoons into the batter mixture and whisk it in. Pour the remainder into a small bowl and set to one side.
Add a little butter to the pan before cooking each pancake. Just add enough to be able to tilt the pan and cover the base with the melted butter. The base should just glisten not run with butter.
Cook the pancakes over a medium–high heat. You will need 45ml (3 tbsp) of batter for each crêpe. It is easier to measure this into a ladle or measuring cup first and use this to be able to quickly add it to the pan. Using the ladle or cup, hold it so that the base is very close to the bottom of the pan in the centre and then pour it in. Immediately lift and tilt the pan in all directions so the batter spreads thinly over the base. If there are any holes, just fill them in with batter using a teaspoon.
Turn when the the crêpe starts to curl away from the sides of the pan, the mixture begins to bubble and the underside is golden. It should take about a minute. If it seems to be sticking to the base of the pan give it a couple of seconds more. Loosen the edge of the crêpe from the pan, then flip it over with a palette knife and cook until the underside is golden. This will only take about 30 seconds. Slip each cooked crêpe from the pan directly onto a piece of kitchen paper which will absorb any grease and keep it light and dry.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan each time and stacking the crêpes up on a warmed plate as they are cooked. Put a piece of kitchen paper between each one and cover loosely with foil so the top one doesn’t dry out. Keep warm in the oven.
Grate the chocolate onto a plate to create a pile of shavings.
To serve, spoon the fruit into the middle of each crêpe. Fold two sides of the crêpe over the fruit to create a cone, then spoon a generous dollop of cream on top and, using a small spoon, sprinkle over the chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.

Vanilla Plum Pots

Prepares: 4 servings

Preparation time: 40 minutes
Chilling time: 3 hours
Cooking time: about 20 minute
Ingredients
450g (16 oz) plums
85g (3 oz) golden caster/superfine sugar (⅓ cup)
1 vanilla pod, halved
2 strips of lemon peel
142ml (5 fl oz) double cream/whipping or heavy cream (⅔ cup)
150g Greek yogurt (⅔ cup)
4 rounded tsp dark muscovado/soft dark brown sugar
14g (½ oz) blanched almonds (12)
You will need 4 glass dessert dishes for this recipe.

Method
Wash and stone the plums. If they are small, leave them halved but if they are large, cut into quarters. Put them in a wide, shallow pan with the sugar, one half of the vanilla pod, strips of lemon peel and 1 tablespoon water. Then bring slowly to the boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. Now reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and continue cooking until the plums are soft but still keeping their shape, about 10–15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, put the cream in a small pan with the remaining half of vanilla pod. Heat until it just begins to simmer and then pour into a bowl and leave to cool. Cover and chill until needed.
Next put the almonds in a small frying pan/skillet and, over a gentle heat, toast until they are just beginning to turn colour and smell nutty. Toss them frequently. Leave to cool and then chop.
Once the plums are cool, discard the vanilla pod and lemon strips. Test for sweetness. Adding 2 teaspoons of caster/superfine sugar if they are still a little tart. Spoon the plums and juice into the four glass dishes.
Now remove the vanilla pod from the chilled cream and add the yogurt. Whisk gently until the mixture has softly thickened and holds its shape. Then spoon the cream mixture over the plums and level the surface.
Sprinkle 1 rounded teaspoon of the muscovado/soft dark brown sugar over the cream in each pot.
Sprinkle over the chopped almonds.
Cover and chill for 3 hours. (The sugar on the top will have melted.)
Serve.

Ingredients
900g (2 lb) plums (about 14)
2 tsp cornflour/cornstarch
85g (3 oz) demerara sugar (⅓ cup)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
170g (6 oz) plain flour/cake and pastry flour (1⅓ cups)
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
55g (2 oz) butter, chilled and diced (¼ cup, or ½ stick)
55g (2 oz) caster/superfine sugar (¼ cup)
180ml (6 fl oz) buttermilk* (¾ cup)
* 180ml (6 oz) (¾ cup) full fat/whole milk plus 1 tablespoon of lemon juice can be substituted for the buttermilk. Just stir together and leave for 15 minutes to thicken up before using.
You will also need a 23cm (9 inch) (2 litre) round ovenproof dish about 5cm (2 inches) deep.

Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) (gas 5)
Wash and halve the plums then ease out the stones.
Mix the cornflour (cornstarch) in 150ml (5 fl oz) (⅔ cup) water.
Now add to a medium-sized pan along with the demerara sugar and cinnamon. Heat gently to dissolve the sugar, stirring occasionally.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the plums, cover the pan and simmer gently for 5–10 minutes depending on the ripeness of the plums. You want the plums to soften but still keep their shape.
Begin making the topping by sifting the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
Now rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir through the sugar.
Using a pallet knife, gradually add the buttermilk to the flour mixture to bind it together and make a slightly sticky dough. You may not need all the buttermilk.
Next tip the plums into the dish and then dollop balls of dough on top of the plums, leaving space around each one and some of the fruit exposed. The balls of dough will expand when cooking.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until the top is golden and then let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
