this year, jase and i are hosting christmas morning at our house for my mum and sister, before we all head over to jason’s mum for a delicious lunch of turkey and all the trimmings. i’ve decided i’m going to make jamie oliver’s ‘epic’ hot chocolate and griddle pan waffles for us all to enjoy in our jammies, whilst digging into our christmas stockings :) the hot chocolate recipe is from jamie’s ‘christmas with bells on’ programme, and it sounds sublime. properly thick and rich, like the hot chocolate you buy in spain to dip churros in! i’m in the market for some sweet little mugs to serve it in, if anyone can point me in the direction of some? :)
ingredients:
2tbsp horlicks
2tbsp cornflour
3tbsp icing sugar
4tbsp quality cocoa powder
100g quality dark chocolate, grated
pinch of ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
jamie says: mix all the dry ingredients together, then add 10 tablespoons of the mixture to two pints of semi skimmed milk. whisk the powder into the warm milk, and let it bubble away on the hob until it’s thick and delicious!
sounds amazing, doesn’t it?! what are your christmas morning traditions? :)
