Black sausage three sauces: French, Mediterranean and favorite Depardieu sauce

In childhood, the black wolf was only fit to shoot her at each other from the tubes.

But the real charlotte, the one with which many experiments with dough and apples began – English. And this charlotte is not a pie at all, but pudding. Its basis is white bread. English puddings are often cooked in small, per one serving. We asked the English brand WALMER, producing bakeware, to share the traditional recipe of charlottes. Continue reading
