As expected, the summer in our climes was only briefly introduced. But that does not matter, because then at least there is something warm, delicious, the soul and the damp fingers warm - homemade custard! There's nothing as simple as homemade vanilla pudding without Tütenkram and E-numbers. I swear, it is really ratzfatz and it just tastes incredibly delicious. And most of the things you have in the house anyway. So if you feel like a warming treat without chocolate, here is the recipe for 2 large or 4 small bowls of vanilla pudding. 500 ml of milk Put 1 vanilla pod of milk in a saucepan, scrape out the vanilla pod and add the pod to the milk, bring to the boil once. 35 g cornstarch (depending on the desired firmness) 50 g sugar 75 ml milk 2 egg yolk Put these ingredients together in a shaker and stir with the blender to a smooth cream. Remove cooked milk from the heat, stir in the starch mixture with the whisk, then simmer gently again. Tastes directly warm very delicious. But it can also be cold and fall well. share note tweet print rss-feed

British Tea Time: scones
Preview

When I was in London for business last week, a typical British Tea Time was not missing. And so I sat on a sunny Sunday with two colleagues in the beautiful garden of a great hotel in Kensington and enjoyed the 5 o'clock tea time with freshly baked, fragrant scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam and a pot of tea. Gorgeous! I've always thought of scones as a boring pastry and wondered about the var...

There are just days when I do not really feel like being in the kitchen forever. Either I really have to get up to study or I want to sit outside in the sun and read a book. Or I'm out all day.
