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

Savory Nettle Cake - testing

http://forestgreengirl.com/nettle-cake/

50 gr cooked nettle or nettle flour
5 eggs
200 gr / 7 oz grated cheese of your choice
200 gr / 7 oz high fat yogurt or Crème fraîche
300 gr / 11 oz all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
(seasonings of your choice)
  1. Cook your nettle and cut it in small pieces (skip this if you’re using nettle flour). 
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 
  3. In a large bowl whisk the eggs until just frothy.
  4. Mix in the cheese and the yogurt/crème fraîche. 
  5. Add the baking powder, the flour and the nettle. Season with what you like and give the mixture a good stir. If it looks too diluted, add some more flour. The thickness should be as if you are baking brownies.
  6. Line a deep tin(?spring form?) with baking paper and pour the mixture in.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes until nicely golden brown on top. Let it cool and take it out of the dish. Cut in pieces and enjoy anytime of the day. It is very good with yogurt sauce or with cauliflower cream soup.
