I went out for brunch with a friend to a local cafĂ©. I swore I wouldn’t get French toast. I always get French toast.
This time, I'd examine the menu properly, and I’d try something different.
I
got the French toast.
It
was one of those places where they have the best ever food in the cabinet. They
had a ginger crunch with pistachio which I took home for later on. That is, five
minutes after I got in the door.
It
was very nice but I did think a sweet treat like Ginger Crunch does not need
pistachio. In fact, I made ginger crunch a few weeks back and, honestly, using
the classic Edmonds recipe, I did not think that the bought stuff from the
flash café was any better at all.
Below is a link to the recipe. The only things I did differently was I added more icing sugar to the icing mixture, because I wasn't sure if it was going to set, and I had some minced ginger in a jar in the fridge doing nothing, so I added some spoons of that to both the icing mix and the base. In fact, that is why I made it in the first place, because of the ginger that we had no plans to use and didn't want to see just go to waste.
The ginger crunch was very good.
Here is the recipe. Simply gorgeous...!
