Method

Buttermilk Panna Cotta

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the softened gelatin to the cream mixture and stir until completely dissolved.

  4. 4

  5. 5

    Pour into Molds

    In a blender, combine the strawberries, elderflower cordial, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and water. Blend until smooth.

  3. 8

    Chill the Mixture

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour to chill.
