Friday Pretties: Raspberry hearts

Eat your heart out - in a nice way!

On Valentines day or ... this weekend? I'm still at home, not feeling so well and phantasizing about lovely things to eat and to do once my strength is back. And look what i just found - Raspberry cream cheese pan crepes! A mix between pancakes and crepes, filled with cream cheese and fresh raspberrys. Might be good with frozen ones, too. I hope that honey & sons Ltd. will be delighted when presented with this, although they consider valentine things being girls stuff. Find the recipe here.

To lift my spirit and yours in the survival of winter, i 'm planning to make February the month of love. One day just isn't enough. Will you join me?

Friday Pretties: Weekend treat

We've made it!

Another weekend's just right around the corner and with it, the possibility for a special breakfast ...

My kids ask me to make american-style pancakes for a long time - now this weekend, we're gonna give it a try. These here, with fresh blueberrys, look especially good to me and i thought they'd qualify for a Friday Pretty!

Blueberry Pancakes

 115g plain flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

2 large eggs, separated

125ml milk

1/4 tsp salt

2 punnets fresh blueberries

oil for frying

Sieve the flour into a medium bowl and combine with baking powder. Make a well in the middle, add the egg yolks and milk and whisk to create a smooth batter, the consistency of double cream. Add more milk if the batter is too thick. Whisk the egg whites in a separate clean bowl with the salt, until they form stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the batter. Add one punnet of blueberries and mix them gently into the batter. Lightly oil and heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Pour two tablespoons of the batter into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancake over and cook for further 1 minute, or until golden brown. Remove pancake from the pan and serve with a maple or golden syrup and some fresh blueberries.
