Lemony Panna Cotta

Panna Cotta ----
a delicious milk pudding dessert ---
made with milk cream sugar flavouring and gelatin.

I've made numerous types -- buttermilk, chocolate, passion fruit, blood orange, and plain ole vanilla.

This Easter I made Lemon. Served with a raspberries.
What could make it even better ----- Madeleines!!
Well unfortunately I forgot that mostly everything is closed today ----
I did not have any butter and one egg short.
So I did a load of laundry instead.
