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

Blackberry Icing - Testing

Adapted from the Icing to Improve the Hips. I've made it with blackberry and with mixed fruit.

1 cup (8oz/228gr) softened salted butter
1⁄3 cup (2.8oz/78g)crème fraîche
1 Tbsp. vanilla
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 to 4 cups (1 cup = 5.1oz/145g) icing sugar, sifted after measuring
1 to 2 Tbsps. of blackberry juice
  1. Beat butter until creamy (it will become pale, almost white).
  2. Blend in crème fraîche, vanilla, lemon zest and fruit juice; beat until very smooth.
  3. Add the icing sugar.
  4. Beat on high until smooth, no longer than 45 seconds or depending on the colour you want.
