Zest of one lemon

Preheat
the oven to 220°c/425°f/gas 7
Brush
the Cully & Sully ramekin with some melted butter.
In a saucepan melt the butter with half the sugar and all the lemon
juice thoroughly.
Take from the heat and beat in the egg yolks one by one. Add the
lemon zest.
Heat very gently, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens
to heat the back of a spoon. This is lemon curd, do not let it get
too hot or it will curdle.
Whisk the two egg whites until stiff, add remaining sugar, whisk
for another 20 seconds until glossy. Gently heat the lemon mixture
until hot to the touch and stir in quarter of the egg whites. Add
this mixture to the rest of the egg whites and fold together lightly.

Crème
Brulée |
|
|
| Soft
Brown Sugar or Siúcra Rich Dark Brown Sugar
is the very soft sugar that is almost like treacle
and melts really easily in a pan. We use it here
as an easy alternative to making caramel. It also
makes your healthy bowl of porridge in the morning
irresistible, especially when mixed with some fresh
milk or cream. |

This
recipe should be started a day in advance.
2 large egg yolks
½ tablespoon of sugar
300ml cream
¼ teaspoons of vanilla essence.
|
|
Preheat
the oven to 220°c/425°f/gas 7
Mix
the egg yolks with the sugar.
Heat the cream with the vanilla essence until the surface begins
to shiver, you must not allow the cream to boil. Pour the cream
slowly into egg yolks, whisking all the time.
Return to the saucepan and cook on a medium heat stirring all the
time until it is thick enough to heat the back of a spoon; once
again, it must not boil. Pour into your ramekin and chill over night.
Once the custard has set and formed a skin on top, heat your grill
to maximum heat, sprinkle a generous amount of soft brown sugar
over the custard and caramelize under the grill. It can burn very
quickly so keep an eye on it.

Chocolate
Fudge Pudding |
|
|
| There
are 3 types of vanilla: vanilla essence, vanilla
extract, and vanilla pods. Vanilla pods are usually
infused into warming liquids, or kept in castor
sugar which then takes on the vanilla flavour. Vanilla
extract is highly concentrated and when cooking
only requires half the quantity of vanilla essence.
It is quite a bit more expensive than the synthetic
vanilla flavouring. |
|

|
|
|
 |
|
|
30g
good quality chocolate, roughly chopped
30g butter, diced
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
1 tablespoon warm water
25g castor sugar
1 egg
5g self-rising flour
|
|
Preheat
the oven to 200°c/400°f/gas 6
Melt
the chocolate and butter in a Pyrex bowl over a pan of simmering
water, once melted remove from heat and stir in vanilla essence,
warm water and sugar. Stir until smooth. Separate the eggs and whisk
the yolk through the chocolate mixture then fold in the flour. Whisk
the egg white until it reaches stiff peaks then fold gently into
the chocolate mixture.
Put your Cully & Sully ramekin into a bain-marie of hot water
and cook in a preheated oven for 15 - 20 minutes. The pudding should
be firm on top but soft and fudgy underneath. Serve with softly
whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream.
