Recipes
La Citronnette
Sugar first, lemon second, or it sulks. Like Armand.
How to make it
- Pour wheat batter and spread it thin.
- Cook it golden on both sides, unless the guest asks otherwise (that is how the notebook recommends it).
- Sprinkle the lemon & sugar.
- Fold it: Triangle. Fold in half, then in half again.
Price and cost
It sells for 4,00 €. At the usual helpings it costs about 0,65 € to make (0,40 € of batter and 0,25 € of fillings), before any discount and less for home-grown fillings. Mastery stamps and the market's charm cards raise the price; see mastery.
The notebook page
The page is in the notebook from the very first day.
It belongs to the set Les Classiques, worth 2 pearls once every crêpe in it has been served really well.
Who loves it
How guests ask for it
"(psst) Your line is: something that makes the soprano pucker, sweetened so she forgives you. Three corners. Golden, like the footlights."
"Lemon and sugar. My mother made them on Sundays. That is not a compliment, it is a benchmark. Triangle."
— Armand
"Cadmium yellow, with texture. Lots of texture, a crisp ground. Triangular composition, very classical."
— Soline (crisp and brown)
"The sour yellow ball with the sweet sand. In the shape of... (draws in the air) a tent?"
— Wim
