The oil is the right temperature when a small piece of bread crisps quickly in it. Pour half a dozen of the marinated escargots into the batter, then fry them in the pan. Take them out when they have turned nicely golden. Lay the beignets on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Keep warm in a low oven. Repeat with the rest of the escargots.

Gelatin Sheets
Raspberry Charlotte
Ingredients
500 grams (17.6 oz) raspberries (fresh or frozen)
150 grams (5.3 oz) whole crème fraîche (or heavy liquid cream)
100 grams (3.5 oz) sugar
3 gelatin sheets
2 egg whites
hard lady fingers
3 tbsp raspberry syrup
raspberry purée
Preparation
Start preparing the day before.
Let the gelatin sheets soak in cold water for 5-10 minutes.
Squash 300 g of de-frozen (or fresh) raspberries in a pan (keep the remaining 200 g in the fridge) and cook over a slow heat.
When the raspberries are liquid, stir in sugar, then melted gelatin sheets. Keep aside.
Whip the cream. Beat the egg whites stiff.
Pour the raspberry mix in a bowl and stir in whipped cream and stiff beaten whites very delicately.
Keep the raspberry mousse in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
The next day, line a charlotte baking pan (basically a round, fairly high pan) with lady fingers soaked in raspberry syrup and water (1 unit of syrup to 6 units of water) for just a few seconds.
Pour half of the raspberry mousse into the lined pan and even out. Add the remaining raspberries and finish with a second layer of mousse. Cover the surface with soaked lady fingers and apply a heavy plate. Don't mind some overflowing, for the sake of compactness.
