Deep fried jam sandwich, strawberry coulis, and vanilla pod ice cream
Treacle Bar & Kitchen in Edinburgh
ON Edinburgh’s vibrant Broughton Street, Treacle serves a varied and imaginative menu inspired by Asian-style cooking.
A great spot for after-work drinks or a weekend treat; Treacle’s menu is perfect for sharing with friends, too.
The menu is designed to be as accommodating as possible, with a fantastic selection for special diets and dietary requirements. Many dishes can be adapted to be vegetarian/vegan or gluten free, if not already.
This is Treacle’s extravagant version of the Jeely Piece, an incredibly indulgent dessert – warm, sweet and sticky. Perfect for when the evenings are drawing in and the temperature begins to drop. http://treacleedinburgh.co.uk/
Serves 2
Ingredients
Batter
200g plain flour, sifted
200ml milk
200ml eggs – 7 medium size
50g caster sugar
Strawberry coulis
400g caster sugar
200ml water
100g strawberries – hulled
1 lemon
Sandwich
Pre-heated fryer at 170°C
4 even slices of brioche bread
Strawberry jam
Method
For the batter
1 Crack eggs into a round bottom bowl, add milk and whisk.
2 Add sugar and slowly add flour, whisking continuously to remove any lumps.
3 Reserve to one side.
(NB: Equal quantities of flour milk and eggs give a fool proof batter.)
For the coulis
4 Place water and sugar into a
heavy bottomed pan. Cook on a medium-high heat and allow a thick syrup to form.
5 Carefully add strawberries and cook until strawberries have softened. Add a squeeze of lemon juice.
6 Remove from the heat and allow to cool before blending and straining.
For the sandwich
7 Lay the brioche out flat and spread two halves with strawberry jam. Place the other halves on top and place together, ensuring there are no
gaps.
8 Dip the jam sandwich in the batter making sure it is fully coated.
9 Carefully, place the sandwich
away from yourself in the fryer
and cook on both sides until golden brown.
10 Dust with caster sugar while still warm
(NB: The sandwich can be shallow-fried like a French toast, if a deep-fat fryer is not available.)
To serve
11 Place the sandwich onto serving dish and garnish with the strawberry coulis. Finish with a scoop of good quality vanilla pod ice cream.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
