We felt we had been transported into the kitchen of a monastery with Carthusian monks making Chartreuse pancakes – the ingredients: flour, eggs, lemon juice, butter, beer (no surprise there) and, of course, plenty of green Chartreuse liqueur. Sweet and creamy on the palate neat like a French pear and almond puff tart with a sprinkling of ginger, cinnamon and demerara sugar.
