Farmhouse Breakfast Week at Doddington, 27-31 Jan
It's Farmhouse Breakfast Week (25th January – 31st January) so we're joining in with the fun by passing on our top tips for the perfect Lincolnshire breakfast! Not only that, on Thursday 29th January there will be free tastings of breakfast table goodies from 10am to 2pm in the Farm Shop and from Tuesday 27th to Saturday 31st the Café will be serving complimentary tea or organic fair trade coffee with full Lincolnshire breakfasts. (Please click here for our breakfast menu.)
You can also treat yourself to some home cooking with Phipps Butchers' breakfast value pack, which will be on sale in the Farm Shop comprising bacon, sausages and Lincolnshire Black Pudding!
We think we serve the perfect Lincolnshire breakfast: Phipps Butchers award-winning Lincolnshire sausages, local free-range bacon sizzled to perfection, hot seasoned mushrooms, free-range eggs from Fenella’s hens – all clucking contentedly nearby in the village – and hearty toast thickly sliced from loaves made by the Doddington chefs with Lincolnshire flour. If you like it, try some regional tomato sauce – whether you dollop on the side or prefer to splodge it all over is up to you!
To make the perfect breakfast at home, Doddington Hall Farm Shop & Café head chef Tom Doran has some top tips for the home cook:
o Never prick your sausages while they are cooking! If you do that, all the lovely juices ooze away and your cooked sausage won’t be as moist. Shake your pan often so they don’t stick and burn.
o The correct way to make free-range scrambled eggs is with some melted butter in a heavy pan, plenty of fast stirring with a wooden spoon and the knack of knowing when they are ready.
o For the perfect poached free-range egg, bring a pan of deep salted water - with a dash of white wine vinegar – to the boil. Swirl the water, and crack in your eggs. Make sure your eggs are really fresh.
o For gorgeous mushrooms, try sautéing them with butter gently in a pan with some finely chopped garlic and plenty of pepper. When they are ready, turn off the heat and cover them with a little foil to keep them warm.
o Always serve your cooked breakfast on a hot plate, to keep the food warm. In a domestic kitchen without the plate warmers we have in our kitchens, try rinsing your plates under a hot tap for a few moments then drying thoroughly.
Delicious! Tuck in....
