自从上次说了要写French toast的配方,转瞬之间已经过去快2个礼拜的时间了。为了让大家明白我不是一个光说不练、言而无信的骗子,今天在下班前最后一点点的空闲时间里,终于把这篇食谱搞了出来。说到生活中的小幸福,其实真的无处不在。如果说要是让我晚上回家酒足饭饱之后,放弃团在沙发上看电影的机会而爬起来写blog的话,一定会觉得那是一件痛苦不堪的事情。可是如果同样是写这么多字,但是却是利用上班时间老板不在监视的那难得的时光来完成,心里却能够得到至高无上的satisfaction :D

说是祖传,其实这个配方也不过就是从我美国老妈那里偷师来的而已。记得还在上高中的时候,每到感恩节或者是圣诞节的早上,整个家里都会弥漫着牛奶,鸡蛋还有肉桂混合的香味。比起火鸡或者圣诞礼物来,新鲜热辣出炉的french toast可有诱惑多了。 和外边平时能吃到的大路版法式土司不同,妈妈的这个版本的特别之处在于它不是用平底锅一片一片煎出来,而是隔夜就大批量的腌制好,然后早晨直接丢进烤箱等着就行。由于大批量的流水线运作导致成本的明显下降,以及操作工人的熟练程度迅速提升,很快我也能自己搞定这个简单而美味的家传甜点了。

法式长棍面包一大条,我用的一般有1米左右
鸡蛋4个
牛奶大概1.5升
Butter 适量
红糖 1-2cups
香草香精 一汤匙
肉桂粉适量

把面包切片,厚度大概和你的烤盘的3/4高度差不多,平铺满整个烤盘
把鸡蛋打碎,和牛奶一同倒入锅中,中火加热
用平底锅把butter融化,然后把红糖炒成糖浆,小心不要弄焦
把糖浆倒入牛奶锅中,不断搅拌。小心温度,牛奶太冷的话,糖浆会立即凝固,太热的话,就变成蛋花汤了。
搅和得差不多的时候,把牛奶混合液慢慢倒入烤盘。这时候你会看到面包一个个漂浮在白花花的牛奶海上。
按照个人喜好洒上一层肉桂粉,用保鲜膜把烤盘封上,放在冰箱里面冷藏一晚。
早上要吃的时候,烤箱加热到190度,丢进去弄个12-15分钟就好了。小心看着点面包的表面,不要烤焦。

做好以后,一拉开烤箱的门就能闻到浓浓的奶蛋香。挖出两块来,撒上肉桂粉,再浇上枫树糖浆,娃哈哈,很温馨的享受如同牛奶炖蛋一样的细腻香甜吧。每天早上吃2块,能让很馋的小厨坚持整整一个礼拜呢。不用早上起来做饭,每天又能多睡20分钟了阿。

伦敦的秋天似乎总是很短。上一秒钟金黄色的叶片还没有落尽,转瞬之间就又已经到了那个需要穿毛线背心的季节。路上的行人已经开始陆陆续续的套上了灰黑色的大衣,撑着一朵朵黑蘑菇样的雨伞,在阴云密布的伦敦街头行色匆匆的走着。我也只是其中的那一个,直到走进一条小巷,被一股甜香拉住了脚步。

Paul

在寒冷的季节,甜品总是分外的有诱惑力的。坐在公园的长凳上,双手捧着一杯刚刚做好的热巧克力。虽然隔着毛线手套,那种温暖的感觉还是可以从手掌蔓延到全身。把纸杯送到嘴边,小小的喝一口。先是舌尖被烫到一下,然后就能感觉到异常浓厚的流质从那一点扩散开来,滑过整个舌面,摩擦着每一粒味蕾。无以伦比的浓郁香甜,厚实的感觉仿佛那不再是流动的液体,而是一块最优质的黑巧克力,在口中逐渐融化。流到了喉咙口,需要用力吞一下,才会咕噜一声的滑下,带起一条慵懒的暖意,在胸口逐渐扩散开来。于是从鼻孔吸进那有些凉意的空气,在口中用舌头和它把玩一会,再从嘴巴里吐出来。看着白色的水雾带着方才的巧克力甜香袅绕在眼前,整个世界的节奏仿佛都慢下来一些,一切不再是黑色,而是咖啡色,巧克力色的了。一点点的变化,却带来无限的暖意。

后话: 语言的形容其实是很难描述出Paul这家店的Hot Chocolate和别人家的是如何的不同。请原谅我词汇的匮乏,只是那种厚重的口感,却又不乏幼滑的细节,恐怕是只有亲自尝上一口才能真正领会到了。Paul的看家本领其实都还不是做热饮,而是他的面包和蛋糕。介于6点下班在即,这些剩下的只好下次再说咯。先看看图流流口水也成啊。

点这里看看离你最近的Paul分店在什么地方吧。一共250多家,挺多国家都有的。国内的2家分店好像都在上海,一个在新天地,另外一个我就不认识拉….
This is the one I go to quite often :)

This is a true story a friend of mine has shared with me. Think I will try to bake this very expensive cookie over the weekend. Give me a shout if you want to try it out :) only 61 cookies will be available! Place your order early!

My daughter and I had just finished a muffin at Famous Amos Café in Bangsar & decided to have some cookies. Because both of us are such a cookie lovers, we decided to try the “Hawaiian Nut Cookie”.

It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe and the waitress said with a small frown “I’m afraid cannot”. Well I said, “Would you let me buy the recipe?”

With a cute smile, she said “YES”. I asked how much and she responded, “only two fifty, it’s a great deal!” I said with approval, “Just add it to my bill”

Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement from Famous Amos and it was RM285.00. I looked again and remembered I had only spent
RM9.95 for two muffins and about RM20.00 for a pie. As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, “cookie recipe - RM250.00″. That’s outrages!!!

I called the Famous Amos’s Accounting Dept. and told them that the waitress said it was “two-fifty”, which clearly does not mean “two hundred and fifty dollars” by any POSSIBLE interpretation of the phrase. Famous Amos refused to budge.. They would not refund my money, because according to them, “What the waitress told you is not our problem. You have already seen the recipe - we absolutely will not refund your money at this point.”

I explain to her the criminal statues which govern fraud in Malaysia. I threatened to refer them to police for engaging in fraud. I was basically told, “Do what you want, we don’t care, and we’re not refunding your money.” I waited for a moment, thinking of how I could get even, or even try to get any of my money back. I just said, “Okay, you people got my RM2-50.00, and now I’m going to have a RM250.00 worth of fun.”

I told her that I was going to see to it that every cookie lover in Malaysia with an email account has a RM250.00 cookie recipe from Famous Amos…for free… She replied, “I wish you wouldn’t do this” I said, “Well you should have thought of that before you stole from me”, and slammed down the phone on her.

So, here it is!!! Please, please please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think of. I paid RM250.00 dollars for this…I don’t want Famous Amos to ever get another cent off of this recipe….. Recipe may be halved:

2 cups butter
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups brown sugar
5 cups blended oatmeal (measure oatmeal &
blend in blender
to a fine powder)
24 oz. chocolate chips
1 tsp. salt
18 oz. Cadbury bar (grated)
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
2 tsp. vanilla

cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Cadbury bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet.. bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 122 cookies..

Have fun..!!

很郁闷的发发牢骚。昨天第一次做double chocolate moose,算是最近对自己的挑战,结果喜忧参半。里面那个黑巧克力的moose本身是很好搞定的,但是没有想到外面那个白巧克力碗,作出形状以后居然是如此的难以脱模。于是搞到最后,不得不用酒杯来装moose,再在上面洒上已经碎成小片的白巧克力了。虽说口感并无太大变化,但是外观总就还是差了那么一个档次……不爽…下次继续努力,我不会就这么放弃的!

昨天在waitrose看到一个15寸的paella锅,心中小冲动了一下。虽说20磅的价格算是挺合理的了,不过那个家伙口径实在是有些大。我是开私房菜馆的阿,又不是开食堂,要那么大的家什干吗?所以最后还是放弃了。有那位兄弟姐妹最近要去西班牙的告诉我一声,我求一个8-10寸的paella锅…谢谢合作….

今天晚上就要做Valencia paella, 嗬嗬,肚子饿了已经…下午5点半的时候的阳光怎么能这么好,太没有天理了…我要回家…
