Flap Jacques Part Duex: Electric Boogaloo

Well, we had another go.



In my try, I dried the panckaes overnight and then I docked them in the morning and soaked them in the custard mixture until they barely held together. The outside did not crisp and the inside was more soggy then custardy.

Mar took a turn. She did not dry out the pancake and soaked them less before griddling. She had made a custard without any sugar but I convinced her adding sugar to the custard would be a good thing. I was wrong. For some reason that sugar caused burning instead of browning but it did achieve a great crisp and the middle was moist but not soggy.

Over the weekend we will try something in the middle of the two attempts and hopefully hit the sweet spot.

Flap Jacques

Working on a French Pancake recipe: pancake used as the toast in French Toast. Made one batch with moderate success, try again this weekend.

Thanks to Martha for the name. Runner up: Pain-cake perdu.
