Every Day is a Donna Hay Day - Buttermilk and Vanilla Panna Cotta

Since moving to Australia I have been buying the Donna Hay magazines, beautifully photographed delicious looking dishes and I have tried cooking or rather baking several of them I decided there is so many tasty recipes I am missing trying. So last week I made a decision to make a Donna hay recipe every day and this is the start of my week.

The recipe - Buttermilk And Vanilla Panna Cotta
1tsp powdered gelatine
2 tbsp water
1 cup/250ml buttermilk
1 cup/250ml single pouring cream
1/2 cup/80g icing sugar
1 vanilla bean split and seeds scraped out
fresh raspberries to serve

The Method

1. Place the gelatine and water in a bowland set aside for 5 minutes to absorb.
2. Place the  buttermilk, cream, icing sugar, vanilla bean and seeds in a saucepan over a medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the gelatine and cook stirring for 2-3 minutes or until dissolved. Strain and allow to cool completely. Poor into four 1/2 capacity moulds and chill for 2 hours or until set.
3. Turn gently out onto a plate and serve with raspberries, I used strawberries which were quite sharp and went perfectly with this dish.

Unfortunately I did something wrong and my panna cotta did not fully set, it turned out into a low mould which slowly sank into a mess on the plate. Tasted delicious all the same.
