fluffy pancakes

You will need (to make enough for two):
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 30 grams butter (melted and cooled)
- 300 ml milk
- 225 grams plain flour or self-raising flour for extra fluffiness
- Fruit and maple syrup for the toppings
 

1. Put all the ingredients into a blender and mix it all together. 

2. Heat your griddle or pan on the stove.

3. Add the mix to make medium-size pancakes (two at a time in a large pan) and flip over when the upper side of the pancake starts bubbling.

These are always a nice twist on the traditional crepes and a great start to the day. Stack them up, drizzle maple syrup all over the, add some fruit and sprinkle with icing sugar. The best part is that they take five minutes to make and serve.

This is a great and delicious twist on the more traditional french toast - Pain perdu. The main ingredients are cream cheese and fruit, lots of it. You can use any fruit that comes to mind just remember to put a good dose of cream cheese mixture to hold it all together.

1. Mix four tbs of cream cheese, one tbs of caster sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, 4 tbs of milk, one tbs of sweetener/sugar and a couple of drops of vanilla extract together in a shallow bowl until combined.
3. Spread both pieces of bread with the cream cheese mixture and add the sliced strawberries to one slice of bread leaving a slight space along the edges of the bread and close to make sandwiches.
4. Dip both sides of the stuffed sandwiches in the egg mixture.
5. Heat a frying pan over a moderate heat and Melt the butter in the frying pan. Fry each sandwich gently for 3 to 4 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until nicely coloured and warmed through.
6. Dust with the icing sugar, drizzple with mapple syrup, cut in half and serve

If your raspberries are frozen it is probably best to et them defrost around 10minutes. Take out your blender and add the raspberries, the ice cream and the milk and mix well until everything has blending nicely together. Don't put in all the milk and ice cream at once and add the rest after the first round of blending. Pour the contents of the blender into two glasses and add a couple of raspberries or even a mint leaf to finish it off.
