A pancake meal, did you dream of it? We did it!
The date of the candlestick is easy to remember, since it falls every year on February 2. On that day, we therefore had a fully found excuse to make pancakes to taste it, or concoct a full menu based on pancakes.
Your special menu for Candlemas
As an aperitif, the pancakes are available in cheese appetizers. For this, we prepare buckwheat pancakes that we will cut in two before folding them in three. Crêpe triangles are thus obtained to garnish with cheese. As fitting ideas, you are offered Camembert, Hazelnuts and Honey; Cantal carrot confit; Gorgonzola and pear cream … it’s up to you to see which associations will seduce you. Once garnished, it only remains to pass the pancakes under the grill and voila.
And since the candlestick is a party, we have also scheduled you a cocktail at the gin, Norman cider and blackcurrant cream. Perfect for toasting with family or friends.
We then continue with a classic ham, egg, cheese. An unbeatable classic that will appeal to everyone. Our recipe also has a peculiarity since it is green! But beware, we have not used food dyes, the result is 100 % natural. The tip to color your pancakes is to mix spinach with milk and eggs, during the preparation of the dough.
In addition to bringing color to the plate, it gives a slight taste to the dough and makes us eat vegetables the air of nothing.
Comes the long -awaited moment, the nail of your candlestick: sweet pancakes. We must admit that we had a hard time choosing a recipe. Between the classic sugar pancakes, the chocolate pancakes or the originality of the pancake cake … Our sweet beak balances. Finally, we opted for a seasonal garnish with chestnut cream and poached pears. A delight.
Happy Candlemas!
