Afternoon tea with Bompas & Parr

— 18 May 2012

Afternoon tea with Bompas & Parr

What could be more British than hanging up the bunting and planning the perfect afternoon tea? In between building a crazy golf course like no other on the Selfridges rooftop, Bompas & Parr, the culinary architects renowned for their ingenious jelly creations, share their recipes for an afternoon tea with a twist.

Scones and jam? Think more along the gelatinous lines: striped jelly oranges, Prosecco jellies and fluffy marshmallows, not forgetting their universal jelly recipe.

 

VIOLET, ELDERFLOWER AND PROSECCO JELLY 

 

A feast for the eyes and the tastebuds. A bottle of Prosecco will make enough jelly for four proper servings and a glass for yourself while you are cooking. 

VIOLET, ELDERFLOWER AND PROSECCO JELLY

 

For 500ml enough for 4:

5 leaves of gelatine

450ml Prosecco or sparkling wine

30ml violet liqueur

30ml elderflower cordial

A squeeze of lemon juice

A handful of small fruit (blueberries, raspberries, grapes … whatever looks good. Raspberries work particularly well)

STRIPED ORANGE JELLIES

 
Here‘s the ultimate orange jelly, magically setting thin layers of jelly inside hollowed-out oranges. Try it: it’s not as complicated as it looks and the results are spectacular. Make sure that you reveal the layered jelly with a ceremonial slicing at the table.STRIPED ORANGE JELLIES

 

For 10 ‘oranges’:

10 clementines

ROYAL MARSHMALLOWS

 

Apparently marshmallows were the food of royalty in ancient Egypt. So far no-one’s found an Egyptian hieroglyphic for mallows though!  This is the ultimate marshmallow recipe for the perfect picnic, party or summertime treat. 

ROYAL MARSHMALLOW

 

21g powdered gelatine

120g water

240g glucose syrup

60g water

450g caster sugar

Teaspoon of vanilla essence, rose water, dried lavender depending on how you want it to taste

**Bompas and Parr's crazy golf has now run its course (no pun intended), but you can still visit the Daylesford cafe on the roof until the end of September.**
