Cooking Instructions

50 mins
  1. 1

    Churros

  2. 2

    Mix Sugar and cinnamon for dusting Churros and put aside

  3. 3

    Seive Flour and Baking powder in a largish bowl.

  4. 4

    Beat in first measure of oil and the boiling water

  5. 5

    Mix Mix Mix until you have a stickyish dough

  6. 6

    Leave the dough while the second measure of oil heats up for cooking them

  7. 7

    Heat the oil to 170c and attempt to keep in at this temperature throughout the cooking

  8. 8

    When temperature is reached put the dough into a piping bag (or a strong clear plastic bag with one corner snipped off if you don't have a piping bag) and squeeze short 'sausage shapes' into the oil. I use kitchen scissors to get them off of the end of the nozzle. You can use what ever shaped nozzle tickles your fancy in your piping bag.

  9. 9

    Cook in batches of about 5 or 6 until they turn golden brown and then get out and drain on. plotting paper and then put into the cinnamon sugar while hot, tossing to coat

  10. 10

    Creme Brulee

  11. 11

    Put Cream, vanilla and peel in a saucepan and heat to near boiling for 5 minutes

  12. 12

    Leave to steep

  13. 13

    beat up egg yolks and castor sugar and then put the cornflour in the egg mixture and beat slightly again

  14. 14

    Heat the cream back up to NEAR boiling again and then, while whisking, slowly add the CREAM TO THE EGG YOLKS mix

  15. 15

    Put back on the heat but DO NOT let boil.

  16. 16

    Stir until custard thickens to the point you can run your finger through it on the back of a spoon and the custard doesn't go together again

  17. 17

    Strain through a seive and then gently stir in preserved lemon

  18. 18

    Pour in small dishes or Ramekins and Refridgerate overnight

  19. 19

    To serve, Sprinkle a heaped teaspoon of castor sugar on top of each Brulee and blow torch. If you do not have a blow torch you can grill (broil) them but you have to keep a close eye that the sugar doesn't burn. You are looking for a caramel on the top that after a minute or so will be hard and crack when bashed with a spoon

  20. 20

    Place on a larger plate and put 3-5 Churros (depending on appetite) to the side of the Brulee

  21. 21

    Serve and enjoy!

I was born at a very young age in London, England but came to my tiny piece of santuary in the Pacific when I was barely walking.Self taught myself ethnic cooking such as Indian, Moroccan and Thai and found a love of baking, especially French inspired desserts.I cook for friends and...well...anyone that wants to eat really lol.I work day in-day out with people that have committed serious crimes and cooking helps me refocus my energies when I've had a rough day.Cooking is my 'happy place'.......I find my zen when I'm pulling together a dish.I love the outdoors, swimming in the ocean and lakes over here, I'm a keen photographer, paint abstracts when the mood grips me and I'm a multiple papercut survivor!My mantra...'If you want what you've never had...you have to do what you've never done'
