Blueberry Pancakes
In a small bowl add the following ingredients.
2 cups flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar

In mixing bowl, blend together:
2 eggs
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups sour cream or vanilla yogurt
4 tablespoons melted butter
Add dry ingredients to mixing bowl and continue to blend. In a small bowl, add 1 cup blueberries, fresh, dried or frozen and 1 tablespoon flour. Stir to combine. This keeps the blueberries from adding too much moisture to the pancake mixture. Stir blueberries to pancake mix and let an adult cook on a griddle.

Dinner Club Summer Program for Older Chefs

Setting the Table

Your Typical Dinner Setting

Fork to the left

Plate center 1 inch from edge of table,

Knife and spoon to the right

Knife should be closest to the plate with the blade facing toward plate

Napkin under fork or on top of plate

Formal Dinner Setting

Not many people need to know how to line out a proper dinner setting, like the one on the left, but for our kids cooking lessons you can look it over for fun.

The plate should be placed 1 inch from the table edge.

A dinner fork is placed to the left of the plate.

If you had a salad fork, it would be to the left of the dinner fork because it is used first.

The knife is always on the right hand side of the plate with the blade facing the plate.

Spoon is to the right of the knife.

The little spoon beside it is for coffee –the spoon can also be placed on the coffee cup saucer.

The little plates above the dinner plate are for bread.
