Ingredients
Method
Milo Crepes
- Mix flours, and pinch of salt together.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in all the room temperature eggs.
- Beat the eggs until combined and add vanilla extract.
- Pour in the Milo drink, melted butter, and mix well.
- In 3 portions mix in your flour mixture.
- If you have a mixer, use your mixture at low speed.
- I had a couple of lumps so I strained it to make sure that the batter was smooth.
- Then pour it into an airtight container and chill for at least 8 hours.
- This is for the gluten to work its magic.
- When you are ready, heat 8 inches non-stick pan on med to med high heat.
- Brush on some butter.
- I used a small ladle to pour my batter... It was slightly lesser than 1/4 cup.
- Swirl it around the pan.
- Let it cook for a min until the sides starts to crisp up and the center appears bubbling.
- Flip it out on a cooling rack.
- It should fall off the pan nicely.
- No need to cook the other side as it cooks through.
- This was my set up.
- I have another cooling rack on the right to flip out the very hot crepes.
- Allowed it to cool while I cook the next, and transfer it to the stacks of crepes as shown when cool to touch.
Milo Crumbs
- Preheat oven to 180C
- Place all the dry ingredients in mixing bowl
- Mix to combine
- Drizzle in the butter while beating, until until combined, and can be squeezed together into clumps
- Spread mixture onto a lined baking tray and place in the oven for about 10 minutes
- It burns easily, so do keep an eye on it
- Cool completely and break into crumbs
Milo Sauce
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream till warm and slowly whisk in Milo power to dissolve.
- Strain it to remove any lumps.
Milo Whipped Cream
- In a clean mixing bowl, whip cream until almost double in volume.
- Then add Milo powder tbsp at a time and continue whisking.
- Until cream is stiff.
Assembly
- Build the cake by placing the first crepe on the cake base.
- Spread a thin even layer of cream on the top.
- Then top with the next layer.
- Repeat until all the crepes are used.
- Chill for at least an hour for everything to set and come together before slicing into it.
- Use a very sharp knife to slice the cake.
- Serve on it's own or better still drizzled with milo sauce and topped with Milo crumbs and nuggets.
