Blueberry pancakes with toffee sauce
by Lesley Waters
from Ready Steady Cook
Serves 2
Preparation time less than 30 mins
Cooking time 10 to 30 mins
Ingredients
For the pancakes
4 free-range egg yolks
50g/1¾oz caster sugar
50ml/2fl oz milk
50g/1¾oz self-raising flour
For the meringue mixture
4 free-range egg whites
50g/1¾oz caster sugar
100g/3½oz blueberries
To cook the pancakes
25g/1oz unsalted butter
For the toffee sauce
50g/1¾oz unsalted butter
100g/3½oz caster sugar
50ml/2fl oz double cream
25g/1oz sesame seeds
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
2. To make the pancakes, place the egg yolks, caster sugar, milk and self-raising flour into a large bowl and whisk together.
3. For the meringue, in another large bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Gradually add the sugar and continue whisking until the mixture is thick enough to leave a ribbon trail when the whisk is lifted.
4. Pour the meringue mixture into the bowl of egg and flour mixture. Add the blueberries and fold together gently to retain volume.
5. Melt the butter in a large flat ovenproof pan and add a ladleful of the pancake mixture. Place into the oven and bake for 3-4 minutes then remove from the oven and turn out onto a warm plate. Repeat this procedure until all of the mixture is used up. (Place non-stick paper between the pancakes to prevent from sticking.)
6. To make the toffee sauce, melt the butter with the sugar in a frying pan over a high heat. Allow the mixture to caramelise, then add the cream and sesame seeds and stir together, until the mixture becomes thick and toffee-like. Remove from the heat.
7. To serve, place the pancakes in piles onto warm plates and drizzle over the toffee sauce.

UK people must be more energetic than the Arkie Sisters. I would never have the patiencen to do all this.
Patsy, they are having a bake sale tomorrow at work for your friend, Mr. White. It seems he had a shooting accident resulting in a leg injury. I think he was the only person invloved. You need to bake something for the benefit. Maybe you could make these UK cakes and take them down to the breakroom tomorrow and sell them. I bet Mr. White would hug your neck for this when he next sees you at walmart.
janet told me about that, i told her it probably was like the razor blade cuts, she didn't think so but i do.
Ok, Patsy, I found another interesting blog. It is not the standard stuff, but it is funny.
