                              Bluebery filled Pancakes

Pancakes

3 eggs beaten

2 Tbsp castor sugar

1/4 tsp baking powder...

1 cup flour

1 cup milk*

Filling

1/2 -1 can blueberries

Oil for greasing pan.

In a bowl mix eggs and sugar and mix will. Sift flour and baking powder together and add to bowl. Slowly add milk and mix well.* Batter should be thick enough to coat back of spoon and you draw a line in it batter stays inplace. Let batter sit for 10 minutes.

Heat pan, (non stick is preferable) and using a brush or some paper towel, lightly grease surface of pan. Add 1/2 a cup of batter and swirl around pan. When mix has coated all if pan, pour any excess batter back into bowl. Once all mix has set and a little colour on the side being cooked, remove from heat. Brush with oil and repeat till all batter is used. There is no need to cook other side of pancake if making so thin as it cooks all the way through.

Now add 2 spoons of canned blueberries. Either put filling on one edge and roll up, or put filling in centre and fold in half, then half again.

Dust pancakes with icing sugar and drizzle with left over blueberries. If you feel like a real treat add whipped cream.

Enjoy

*if you would prefer thicker pancakes, add less milk so batter is thicker. Brush with a little oil, and cook. Once you see little bubbles. Turn pancake over and cook til light golden colour.

Remove from heat and put blueberries in centre of pancake and add whipped cream if you wish.

**this can also be served as a desert also - add icecream!

***don't worry if first pancake doesn't come out well - normally the first couple of pancakes are not perfect .. These can be the cooks treat.
