Crème brulee is a delicious and elegant dessert that has been enjoyed for centuries. But did you know that this dessert has magickal properties when made by a fairy? According to folklore, fairies are known for their connection to nature and their ability to bring good luck and prosperity to those who they choose to bless. Making a crème brulee with the help of a fairy can infuse your dessert with these magickal properties.


But why would a fairy choose to make a crème brulee? In fairy folklore, food is seen as a powerful tool for bringing blessings and protection. By making a crème brulee, the fairy may be seeking to bring abundance and good fortune to those who partake in the dessert.


To make a magickal crème brulee, it is best to choose a day of the week that is associated with fairy magick. Wednesday is considered the most potent day of the week for fairy magick. According to tradition, this is the day when the fairy kingdom is most active and their magick is at its strongest. By making a crème brulee on a Wednesday, you may be more likely to receive the blessings of the fairy.


To make a fairy-infused crème brulee, you will need the following ingredients:


2 cups heavy cream

5 egg yolks

1/2 cup white sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

Additional sugar for the top

To begin, preheat your oven to 300°F. In a medium saucepan, heat the cream, vanilla extract, and salt until it begins to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Once fully combined, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup.


Next, pour the mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water, being careful not to get any water in the ramekins. Bake the crème brulee for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still jiggly. Let the crème brulee cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.


When you are ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of each crème brulee. Using a kitchen torch, carefully melt the sugar until it is golden brown and crispy. Allow the sugar to cool for a few minutes before serving.


But what makes this dessert truly magickal? According to fairy folklore, fairies are known for their ability to bring good luck and prosperity to those they bless. By making a crème brulee with a fairy's help, you may be bringing these properties into your life. Additionally, cooking and baking are seen as magickal practices in many cultures. By infusing your cooking with intention and attention, you may be able to bring more magick into your life.


So the next time you are in the kitchen, consider inviting a fairy to join you in making a crème brulee. Who knows what blessings and magick may come your way?

  Cube-olution: How Croissants Are Breaking Out of Their Crescent Shape In a world where trends come and go faster than you can say “butter,” one pastry innovation is cubing the competition. Enter the Croissant Cube — the latest craze taking the bakery scene by storm. But wait, isn’t a square croissant an oxymoron? After all, “croissant” literally means “crescent” in French.

The Origin Story Like many food trends, the Croissant Cube traces its roots to Japan, a country known for putting unique spins on Western classics. [1] “It’s a perfect fusion of French technique and Japanese precision,” says Pierre Duchamp, a renowned pastry chef. “The cube shape allows for more crispy edges while maintaining that soft, buttery interior we all crave.” [2] Why Cube? Insta-worthy aesthetics: Let’s face it, squares are more shareable. Texture revolution...

  First there are so many different types of fairies. Any creature that has magickal powers and not a God or Goddess is sometimes thought to be fairies. I can begin by explaining the two most common groups that you can group most fairies into and that is Seelie or Unseelie. Seelie and unseelie fairies are two distinct categories of fairies found in Scottish and Irish folklore. The main difference between the two is their general disposition towards humans.
