Blueberry Recipes

Blueberry Pikelets

1 egg
¼ cup caster sugar
1 cup flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ cup blueberries, frozen or fresh
½ teaspoon grated lemon rind
¾ cup milk
butter

Preheat electric frying pan to moderate heat. Beat egg and caster sugar together until pale and creamy. Sift dry ingredients into egg mixture. Add blueberries and lemon rind. Fold in carefully to mix, but do not beat. Add milk and stir until just mixed together. Let mixture stand for 5 minutes. Grease frypan and drop generous rounds of batter onto hot surface. Cook about 2 minutes, until bubbles form on top, then turn with a fish slice and cook the second side for 2 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack. Cool the pikelets and top with yoghurt or sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.

¼ teaspoon salt
½ tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, basil and pepper, until well blended. Combine dressing with the potatoes and mix well. Stir in blueberries, carrots and cucumber. Sprinkle with spring onions and parsley. Chill before serving if you wish.
