Pancake of mardis gras fried or baked

How did you spend the Carnival Sunday? I brought my daughter to the parade, but there was no way to dress her up. Se didn’t want the indian dress, I had to remove her nose painted by kitten and finally she wanted to remove the crown princesses ! ….. in short, she says that next year she’ll dress like a sword .. ahahahha, but that fairy and princess. Well she will be a little Joan of Arc!

Here is ready ready for Mardi Gras! a nice tray of baked and fried Crumpets!

The same preparation can go in the oven or fried as you prefer. Fried, however, are coveted!!!

Drain on paper towels.
Meanwhile heat the honey in a pan,it is formed just ' froth , put the little balls and cook 5 - 10minutes in honey ,they should caramelize and absorb the honey.
