Vanilla Ice Cream Crepe

      Hi guys, sorry I haven't been so up-to-date with the postings. Its pretty hard to find recipes nowadays so this is gonna have to be quick.



Baking cookies is comforting, and cookies are the
sweetest little bit of comfort food.
They are very bite-sized and personal.

     Okay, I just found out that I have no more Amos Lee recipes, but I found some here and there in random cook books. This recipe was taken from a Chinese cookbook but I guess this is the most Western dish they have here.


Vanilla Ice Cream Crepe

100g plain flour (sifted)
25g icing sugar
230ml fresh milk
3 egg yolks
some melted butter

Mix flour sugar and milk.
Add in egg yolks and mix to form batter.
Heat up flat-bottom frying pan,
Spread some melted butter on it and
pour in 2-3 tablespoons of batter.
Pan-fry until it turns golden-brown.
Scoop on some vanilla ice cream and
strawberries for the fun of it.

 


      Now that was the easy way, but if you want to make your own ice cream, here's the recipe:



Vanilla Ice Cream

80g castor sugar
2 and 1/2 tablespoons smoothie powder
30ml hot water
3 egg yolks
250ml fresh milk
300ml fresh cream
few drops of vanilla essence

Stir sugar, smoothie powder and hot water. Set aside.
Mix yolks with milk, keep warm over low heat
before adding the smoothie mixture.
With a mixer, whip fresh cream until light and fluffy.
Add egg yolk mixture, stir in the essence
and leave it in the freezer for 2 and 1/2 hours.
Bring out the half-frozen ice cream and stir it
loose with a spoon. Set it firmly
and evenly before putting it back into
the freezer for two hours.
Or you could just get it from the shop.





      Okay so I'm going to be overseas for the next few days. It will be hard to post, but I'll try to post something if I can find Wi-fi. So, bye-bye then!
