La Spéculette

Spice and cream. Christmas, whatever the calendar says.

Tante Maëlle's note

How to make it

  1. Pour wheat batter and spread it thin.
  2. Cook it pale and soft on both sides, unless the guest asks otherwise (that is how the notebook recommends it).
  3. Smear the speculoos spread.
  4. Dollop the whipped cream.
  5. Fold it: Triangle. Fold in half, then in half again.

Price and cost

It sells for 6,50 €. At the usual helpings it costs about 1,20 € to make (0,40 € of batter and 0,80 € 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 missing at first. It turns up the first time you serve this crêpe well. Until then the stub reads:

It smells of cinnamon. Speculoos and whipped cream, in a triangle.

It belongs to the set Les Douceurs, worth 4 pearls once every crêpe in it has been served really well.

Who loves it

How guests ask for it
