Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda: stir into bowl with wet ingredients. Stir in yogurt: fold in blueberries. Pour batter in skillet and cover with lid.

If the bottom is too brown, reduce heat next time.

Eggs

When cooking ALL VARIETIES of eggs in Saladmaster, it is recommended to preheat your skillet on MED heat for 2-3 minutes before cooking. Test skillet temperature with a few droplets of water. When water dances on the skillet, spray with cooking spray or slightly brush with a small amount of healthy cooking oil - and add eggs.

FRIED EGGS: After cracking eggs into your preheated skillet, add a bit of water (approx. 2 tsp.)
Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, then lift & remove with a thin metal spatula.

SCRAMBLED EGGS: Whip eggs in a separate bowl and then add eggs to your preheated skillet.
Cover for a quicker cook time of 2-3 minutes.

POACHED EGGS: Add approx. 4 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Crack eggs over water, and cover. Water will turn into vapor-heat and cook from top down. Check eggs after 3-5 min. Lift and remove with spatula. (Eggs may simply slide off skillet without the use of a utensil.)

HARD COOKED EGGS: Place a folded wet paper towel in the bottom of your quart/saucepan. Fill with whole eggs and cover. Set temperature to a medium-low setting. When the Vapo-Valve clicks, turn heat to the lowest setting. Cook on “LOW” for 10-15 minutes, depending on the number of eggs cooking.
