The Royal Tenenbaums: Margot’s Butterscotch Sundae
I’ll have a butterscotch sundae, I guess. You probably don’t even know my middle name.
Margot Tenenbaum, The Royal Tenenbaums
It’s been a while since I last saw The Royal Tenenbaums but there are a few things that never escape my mind. Margot’s perfect hair and her butterscotch sundae that she ordered at The Grand Prospect Hall. Much to my disappointment, The Grand Prospect Hall is only open for weddings and events. Although we can’t stroll in for a visit, recreating her sundae is the next best thing. Since it is a sundae, feel free to add nuts, sprinkles, and whipped cream to your heart’s content. I wanted to keep it simple and beautiful. Enjoy!
