Baby Dutch Pancake with Citrus Curd

45ml butter, cubed
3 eggs
180ml flour
180ml milk, warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds
15ml sugar
10ml vanilla
a pinch of salt
125ml lemon curd
125g cream cheese, room temperature
2 blood oranges, peeled and cut into segments

Preheat your oven to 180℃.
Add the cubed butter to a 23cm ovenproof frying pan and place it in the oven to heat up.
Add the eggs, flour, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt to a blender and blitz until smooth.
Remove the hot pan from the oven and swirl the butter around so that it covers the bottom and sides of the pan.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the pan and stand on a cooling rack.
Add the lemon curd and cream cheese to a small bowl and mix.
Spoon the mixture onto the warm pancake and spread it out.
Scatter the orange segments over the curd and sift with icing sugar to serve.

Chocolate-Blueberry Clusters

Chocolate-Blueberry Clusters

These clusters are perfect treats for those tiny-hands-in-the-kitchen…

100g chocolate, chopped
250g fresh blueberries
100g pistachio nuts

Add the chopped chocolate to a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan with barely simmering water to melt.
Stir every now-and-then until completely melted. Take from the heat.
Line a small-hole muffin tin with paper cups.
Spoon about half a teaspoon chocolate into each cup and give it a swirl so that the chocolate covers the base of the paper cup.
Add about three blueberries and two pistachio nuts to the cups and then drizzle with another half teaspoonful of melted chocolate.
Place some more blueberries and nuts on each cluster and give each a final drizzle of chocolate.
Allow to set for at least 30 minutes.
Gently remove the clusters from the paper cups and serve.
Do not keep the clusters in the refrigerator.
