I watched a video on YT from former Royal Chef of Balmoral kitchen, Darren Mc Grady.
He talked about HRH Prince Philip and his favourite dessert. On a trip to Iceland he ate these crepes. It took him some time to persuade the hosts to get him the recipe. It was often served when there were guests at Balmoral castle. The plum jam was from the plums grown at the castle grounds.
These nice crepes are nothing fancy. Not a dessert you expect to see at a royal dinner. But they are heart warming in their simplicity.
Recipe for 6 crepes:
1 cup flour, 2 cups of milk, 3 eggs, 4 tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1 /4 tsp salt, 1 tsp vanilla paste, oil for the pan
150 ml double cream, plum jam, icing sugar
Make the batter and let it rest. Beat the double cream to stiff peaks.
Use a brush and spread some neutral oil in the pan. Let the pan heat up completely or you will wreck you first crepe. Bake them all and let them cool down.
Fold them in halves and use a 10 cm ring cutter. Spread on one side plum jam and top it with whipped cream. Fold over and serve with a little icing sugar on top.
