The after-bath coffee milk and fruit milk was popular among the women and children.
Of course, the adults represented by the Dwarves prefer cold ale right out of the bath.
I also liked beer right out of the bath, so I don’t know how to feel about it.
And of course, Maribelle and the other maids weren’t satisfied with just coffee milk and fruit milk, so I developed a centrifuge for the Milqueen milk so I could make fresh cream.
Though it wasn’t using the milk from a Milqueen, I have made pudding but I’ve put off making the similar-tasting custard cream for cream puffs. Before cream puffs, I thought about eating pancakes with a lot of fresh cream.
I had a feeling that the milky taste would be affected if I used fresh cream instead.
「As I thought, I better prepare a lot of fresh cream.」
With that in mind, I attempted to make cream puffs.
Naturally, I also made butter from the Milqueen milk.
As for the eggs, we received of chickens from Papeck-san, so egg production was doing better than ever. Soon, there would be enough eggs for everyone in the Sanctuary to eat everyday.
For dessert making, sugar consumption had greatly increased, but strictly in the Sanctuary, we had no problems with sugar because of Dryas.
Now, if I remember correctly, custard cream was made of eggs, milk, sugar, and a small amount of flour. There might be other recipes, but for now, I had to conduct trial and error on the right ratios with these ingredients.
By the way, pancakes existed in this world. However, they were barely sweet pancakes eaten with expensive honey or Treant Syrup, which was extracted from Treants and tasted similar to maple syrup.
Honey and Treant Syrup were extremely pricey, so only the wealthy could ever consume it.
When I was a salaryman in my 40’s in my previous life, I had very few chances to eat pancakes even though they were popular. As one would suspect, going to a place filled with women and eating pancakes was too high of a hurdle.
Even so, I think it might be possible for me to recreate how it looks from what I’ve seen from TV, magazines, and social media.
Yep, it was silent pressure from those guys.
As to be expected, I wouldn’t make cream puffs a second time, so I made the pancakes.
Making whipped cream is a lot of work, but custard cream was even worse.
And it was a miscalculation on my part, but was it because of the sweet smell? Wappa and the kids arrived.
I knew that the Cat Sith sister Miri and Lala, and Catkin siblings Wappa and Sara had sensitive smells. Even the Human sisters Colette and Shirona, the Elven sisters Melanie and Malorie were enticed by the smell......
「Takumi! Some for us too, please!」
「More fruits for this oneechan please~!」
「More of everything for me please!」
「I want milk too please!」
「......five layers please.」
「Geh!」
As I frantically cooked the pancakes, what I was afraid of happening, happened. The requests from the Great Spirits Undine, Dryas, Sylph, Selene, and Nyx came in.
Maria and the maids were happy to help me partway through, but in the end, it goes without saying that I was stuck cooking pancakes the entire day.
