Celebrate Candlemas with the Maison du Biscuit!

This weekend, time for indulgence! Candlemas arrives and with it, the irresistible desire to taste delicious golden and fluffy pancakes. This year, why not enhance this moment with an exclusive recipe and tasty accompaniments selected by Maison du Biscuit?

The recipe for gourmet crepes from our chef Kévin Burnouf​

For light, fragrant and perfectly balanced pancakes, follow the advice of Kévin Burnouf:

In a container, mix:

• 250 g of flour
• 4 eggs
• 1 pinch of salt
• 25 g of sugar
• 250 g of milk

Whisk until you obtain a smooth paste. Then gradually add:

• 400 g of milk
• 100 g of water

Finally, finish with:

• 100 g of melted butter
• A sufficient quantity of rum (according to your taste)

Chef's tip: Let the dough rest for 2 hours under a cloth before starting to cook. Your pancakes will only be better!
All that remains is to garnish as you wish: sugar, jam, spread, or simply plain… Enjoy!

Jams, coulis & sweets: delicious accompaniments

A good crepe is even better with a topping that makes your taste buds sparkle! La Maison du Biscuit offers you an exquisite selection to enhance your pancakes:

• Our artisanal jams: strawberry, apricot, raspberry… Recipes full of fruit for a sweet and authentic touch.

• Our gourmet coulis: chocolate, caramel or red fruits, for an irresistible and melting topping.

• Our little treats: add a touch of delicacies with our sweet selection.

A touch of originality with a drink!​
