Blueberry

Thick ready-made custard is sold in the refrigerated section of supermarkets. Note

Don’t thaw the frozen blueberries before using as they will bleed colour into the cake batter. Note

These little lime and berry friands may be tiny, but they're absolutely bursting with flavour.

You get a double berry hit with these fat little hotcakes studded with strawberries and slathered with blueberry sauce. Perfect for an indulgent brunch or special breakfast.

Serve these divine little blueberry hotcakes with walnuts and lashings of maple syrup for a decadent breakfast or brunch treat.

Wrap the steamer lid in a clean tea towel to avoid condensation drops falling onto the custards. Cook custards in two batches if they don’t all fit in your steamer. Note

You can use any type of berry you like in the compote. Note

Oatmeal, also sold as oatmeal flour, is made from milled oat kernels; it is not the same product as rolled oats or oat bran. It is available at health food stores. Note

Treat yourself this morning with gorgeous French-style spelt crêpes with poached pear and blueberries.

It is fine to use just the one 300ml carton of cream for this recipe. Note
