Royal peanut butter: pancakes that won the heart of Elizabeth II

Three years ago, Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, famous for her wisdom, principled stance, and passion for delicious food, said goodbye to us.

Her Majesty was especially looking forward to Maslenitsa, the week before Lent when she could enjoy her favorite delicacies.

According to the Mirror, citing the chefs of the royal court, various pancakes with unique ingredients were prepared for the Queen at this time.

Elizabeth II loved both sweet and savory versions of this dish, but she was especially fond of pancakes with the addition of nut butter—beurre Noisette. Although Maslenitsa has already passed and Lent continues, it is worth thinking about treating yourself to this dish on Easter or after it.

To prepare nut butter, you need to carefully melt the butter over low heat so that the liquid evaporates. When a golden precipitate forms, the process should continue until it reaches a state of crackling. After cooling, the oil acquires a pleasant nutty flavor, perfectly complementing sweet dishes.

The Queen’s love for this flavor was so great that the chefs added beurre Noisette to almost all the pancakes prepared for her during Maslenitsa.

To prepare pancakes according to the traditional recipe, you will need 250 ml of milk, one yolk, two chicken eggs, 40 g of butter, 125 g of flour, and 30 g of sugar. The eggs, flour, and sugar should be mixed, gradually adding milk and toasted nut butter until a homogeneous dough is obtained. Then, the dough should be fried on both sides until golden brown.

We remind you that you can create a delicious pie from leftover products, such as buckwheat or potato pie. These can be prepared quickly and will delight you with their taste.
