February 2nd is Candlemas.
40 days after Christmas, it's the perfect opportunity to meet Aurélien Cohen with his recipe for gourmet pancakes! An event that will once again bring gourmets together around a table. For breakfast or a snack with the kids, ANYTHING is allowed.
The ingredients
For about twenty pancakes:- 90 g of grape seed oil
- 10 g of rum (optional)
- 10 g of Cointreau (optional)
- 4 large whole eggs
- 200 g T55 flour
- 40 g of sugar
- Zest of one orange (optional)
- 70 g of melted butter
- 600 g of whole or semi-skimmed milk
The recipe
-
Start by whisking together the flour, sugar, oil, and liquor in a large bowl (orange juice can be used as a substitute). Then add the eggs and whisk to combine.
-
When the mixture is homogeneous and smooth, add the still-hot melted butter in several additions and mix well with a whisk between each addition.
-
Once all the butter has been poured in, add the milk twice and mix well there too.
-
The dough can be left in the refrigerator for a while before baking or eaten immediately. The dough can be stored in a cool place for 48 hours.
Whether you prefer jam or spread, pleasure is guaranteed. So, get to your pans!
Happy Candlemas!
