Britishcolumbianblueberryshake Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the blueberries and vanilla sugar in a large heavy saucepan. Add 1 cup water and the lemon juice and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken.
• Remove from the heat and strain through a fine sieve. Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Adjust rack to center of oven, and heat to 400 degrees.
• Place a Silpat baking mat on a baking sheet, and set aside. In a large bowl, sift together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, or two knives, cut in butter until the largest pieces are the size of small peas.
• Stir in blueberries and zest. Using a fork, whisk together cream and egg in a liquid measuring cup.
• Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in cream mixture. Stir lightly with fork just until dough comes together.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead a few times to mix well.
• Pat dough into a 6-inch square about 1 1/4 inches thick.
• Using a floured knife, cut into four 3-inch squares.
• Cut squares in half on the diagonal to form eight triangles.
• Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes.
• Transfer scones from baking sheet to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Combine nutmeg, half-and-half or milk, ice cream, blueberries, sugar and vanilla in blender.
• Blend until frothy, scraping down sides of blender occasionally.
• Pour into 2 chilled glasses.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a baking tray with parchment. Put the caster sugar and 3 tbsp water in a small saucepan, and add the lemon zest. Bring to a simmer, bubble for a minute until the sugar has dissolved, then set aside to cool a little.
• To make the frangipane, beat the butter and sugar together for a few minutes with an electric whisk. Add the ground almonds, flour, almond extract and egg, and beat for another minute until well combined.
• Lay the slices of bread on the tray, then brush the syrup over each slice until it's used up. Divide the frangipane between the slices of brioche and spread right to the edges. Put a handful of blueberries in the centre of each piece, then press as many flaked almonds around the edge of each piece as you can make stick.
• Bake for 25-30 mins until the frangipane is golden brown. Cool for at least 10 mins before eating, then serve with a spoonful of crème fraîche, if you like.

Steps:

• In a blender, whizz blueberries, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, milk and ice cream. Pour into milkshake glasses and enjoy with a straw.
