Calvados Omelette From 'Prune'
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup cream
- 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (use Madagascar or Tahitian, not the Mexican)
- pinch salt
- 4 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 4 Tablespoons Calvados
- 4 teaspoons butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Combine the ingredients for the batter in a stainless bowl and whisk until thoroughly blended.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a nonstick 6" pan. When foaming, add 2 1/2 ounces batter and let set briefly. With a rubber heatproof spatula, pull omelette into the center from noon, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock and then do that again, from 1, 4, 7, and 11 o'clock until all the loose batter has run into the empty spaces and the omelette is set.
- Lift up an edge of the omelette to see the color and when it is golden brown, flip the omelette.
- Pour in a generous Tablespoon of Calvados and tip the pan to ignite the alcohol. Be sure that the Calvados you are using is at room temperature and not been refrigerated.
- Remove the pan from the stove and let the flames burn out, then quickly slide onto a plate.
- While warm, spread a teaspoon of softened butter over the surface of the omelette and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to finish.
