There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Untested - Tarte aux Pommes Grand-Mère à la Normande

Another French recipe that I've tried to convert to N.A. measurements.


2 apples (Golden or Gala)
1 recipe of Cookie Pie Crust
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk (maybe 1/2?)
2 Tbsps. crème fraîche
1/4 cup sugar
2 generous Tbsps. of butter
OPTIONAL - 1/4 cup red currant jam
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream and sugar
  3. Peel and core the apples and chop fine.
  4. In the pie shell, arrange the apple, and pour the sweet egg mixture on top. Divide the butter to arrange as little pats across the surface of the pie.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
  6. OPTIONAL - when the pie is baked, heat 1/4 cup of red currant jam and spread over the pie.
