Fluffy Pancakes with Blueberries

Ingredients
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup plain flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
blueberries

Method
Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to sour. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into soured milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.

Salmon Eggs Benedict

Ingredients
2 eggs
2 tbsp vinegar
1 English muffin, halved
a little butter
4 slices smoked salmon
Hollandaise sauce
chopped chives
3 mini roma tomatoes

Method
To poach the eggs, bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the vinegar. Lower the heat so that the water is simmering gently. Stir the water so you have a slight whirlpool, then slide in the eggs one by one. Cook each for about 4 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon. Lightly toast and butter the muffins, then put lettuce mix or spinach leaves on, followed by a couple of slices of salmon on each half. Top each with an egg, spoon over some Hollandaise and garnish with chopped chives and some mini roma tomatoes for garnish.
