Crème De La Crème A La Edgar

Here is another Disney recipe, this one is for a warm milky cinnamon infused drink. Crème de la crème a la Edgar featured on the Disney movie The Aristocats.

Edgar, the loyal butler to the rich millionairess owner of Duchess and her adorable kittens. After over hearing that Madame Bonfamille was going to leave her entire fortune to her precious cats, makes their favourite bedtime drink (laced with sleeping pills) before taking them into the countryside and leave them there.

This was another recipe share, there are two of them. The first one, I was not too keen on the ingredients as it used a lot of cinnamon and nutmeg which I think would overpower the drink. The second added honey but not cinnamon or nutmeg which while watching that clip it looks like they were added to the drink, but I will certainly try the second one. Below are the shared recipes.

Both recipe pictures sourced on shared Disney recipes sites.

So I decided to make one up myself, tasting it as I went along to get what I think is a delicious relaxing bedtime drink.

Ingredients

1/12 cups milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 cinnamon stick

1 tsp vanilla essence

1/4 tsp vanilla bean extract

2 tbsp brown sugar

1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Method

1. In a small pan, add milk, cream, cinnamon stick, vanilla essence, vanilla extract and sugar, stir to combine. Gradually bring to the boil. Add nutmeg and whisk to combine. Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon dusting sugar (optional).

To make it thicker, gradually add by whisking, a little cornflour paste. ( 1 tbsp cornflour mixed with water to make a paste).

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see here and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...

Corned Beef Stovies

We love stovies, the perfect comfort food for cold evenings and an ideal way to use up leftover meats. I had some corned beef leftover from Scott's sandwiches so that became the base for these stovies. Ingredients 1-2 tbsp olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped 1 kg potatoes (suitable for mashing) 300ml beef stock 1 beef oxo cube 1 tin corned beef Method 1. Peel and thinly slice potatoes. 2. Heat oil in a large deep pan over a medium heat until hot. Add onions and fry until golden. 3. Add sliced potatoes, beef stock and crumbled oxo cube. Stir to combine ingredients well. Cover with lid, turn heat up to medium-high, bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring every few minutes. Cook for 40-50 minutes or until potato is soft and tender. 4. Using a potato masher, roughly break the potatoes into smallish pieces. Cut corned beef into small chunks. Add to potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and corned beef has brea...
