PRINT RECIPE


#INGREDIENTS

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup shortening (I used Crisco)

48 ounces (6 cups) powdered sugar, sifted

1 cup pink champagne

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1-2 teaspoon heavy whipping cream

3-4 drops red food color

pinch of salt

#DIRECTIONS

Place 1 cup of pink champagne in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until reduced to about 1/4 of a cup. Transfer to a small bowl cup and allow to cool. Reducing the champagne down will enhance the flavors.

Beat butter and shortening in bowl of stand mixer with whisk attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy - for about 3 minutes

Add vanilla and food color and beat to incorporate.

With mixer on low, slowly add in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, beating until well blended after each addition, frequently scraping sides and bottom of bowl. Add cream, salt and reduced champagne.

Once incorporated, whip frosting for at least 3-5 minutes on medium high to high until light and fluffy.

If frosting is too thick to spread, gradually beat in additional cream or champagne (reduced or not) until you reach the desired consistency

LEMON PANCAKES

Ingredients:
1 egg
50 grams icing sugar
200 ml plain yogurt
30 ml oil (2 tablespoons)
45 ml fresh lemon juice (3 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
150 grams all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda

Beat the egg with the icing sugar, on high, until it becomes thick and pale (2-3 minutes), then add the grated lemon zest, yogurt, fresh lemon juice and oil and combine well. Sift the flour with the baking powder and baking soda, add it to the egg batter and whisk it in just until combined, do not overmix it.

Using a small ladle or a measuring cup, pour about a fourth of a cup (60 ml) of batter in a very lightly oiled skillet, and cook for about 1-2 minutes over medium heat until bubbles form on the surface, then turn the pancake over and cook it on the other side for another minute, until lightly brown (you will get 8 pancakes). Serve immediately with fresh fruit, honey, sauces, etc.
