Celebrate Pancake Day (February 24) in style this year. Although serving pancakes with lemon and sugar remains popular, with a few easy adaptations the basic dish can be turned into a special, tantalising treat for all the family to enjoy. Ease your calorie conscience by spraying your pan with FryLight to reduce the fat content.
Choc 'n' orange

90g plain flour
20g cocoa powder
25g caster sugar
1 large egg
300ml semi skimmed milk
½ tsp vanilla essence
FryLight
Filling:

2 medium oranges
250g tub ricotta cheese
25g plain chocolate, grated
25g sugar
Make the filling: grate the zest from one of the oranges into a bowl.
Cut away the peel and pith from both oranges and cut into segments, allowing the juice to drip into the bowl, but put the segments on a plate to one side.
Beat the ricotta into the orange rind and juice until smooth and fold in the grated chocolate and sugar.
To make the pancakes: sift the flour and cocoa into a bowl, add the sugar. Beat the egg, milk and vanilla extract together then add to the dry ingredients and whisk to make a smooth batter.
Cook the pancakes and place a tablespoon of the ricotta filling onto each pancake and either roll up or fold into a cornet, decorate each with 2 orange segments.

1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp caster sugar
2 eggs, separated
FryLight
1 tsp vanilla extract
150ml semi-skimmed milk
200g blueberries
1 medium orange

To make batter: put flour, baking powder caster sugar, egg yolks, vanilla and milk into a bowl, beat to make a thick and smooth batter. Whisk the egg whites until stiff then carefully fold into the batter with 75g of the blueberries. Set aside.
Grate the zest from the orange into a small pan, add the juice and honey. Bring to simmer and cook until syrupy, add the rest of the blueberries and cook for 3-4 minutes until they release some juice and just begin to soften. Remove from heat.
