Clinton Street Bakery Blueberry Pancakes
When we were in New York one of our favourite spots for brunch was the Clinton Street Bakery in the Lower East Side. If you make it to New York, we highly recommend you visit them, but you will need to turn up early and queue to get in. We also highly recommend their scrummy blueberry pancakes. Here's the recipe from their cookbook.
Ingredients
2 eggs 1 tablespoon sugar 1 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt 4 tablespoon salted butter, melted and cooled (or use unsalted butter + ½ teaspoon salt) 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 1¼ cups plain flour 2¼ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda 1 cup blueberries vegetable oil, for the frying pan For the compote: 1 cup blueberries 1 tablespoon sugar 3 tablespoon water For the butter: ⅓ cup maple syrup ½ cup salted butter (or use unsalted butter + a generous pinch of salt) |
Instructions
7. Make the maple butter: Heat the maple syrup in the now-empty frying pan (the one you were using for the pancakes) over a medium heat. Add the cold butter to the pan and heat whilst stirring until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and serve warm with the pancakes. |
Blueberry Strawberry Smoothie
Nothing beats a smoothie particularly in the summer. They provide a wonderful combination of indulgence with an energy boost. They work well with frozen blueberries.

Instructions
Wash the blueberries and strawberries beforehand. Pour the water into the blender, followed by the banana (broken into a few pieces), and the berries, turn blender on. When all the fruits are broken down, add the chia seeds and apple cider vinegar, blend further. Lastly, throw in the ice cubes one at a time and whizz for a while longer. Before serving, steep the mint leaves in the smoothie for at least 5 minutes in the fridge. |

Ingredients
2 store bought frozen pastry crusts 1 cup of sugar 4 ½ cups blueberries 1 lemon 5 tablespoons flour Salt |
