“Peggy” from Whangarei is looking for ideas on the best use for duck eggs. “We have adopted a wild duck with one leg (which we named Peggy). Every morning she flies onto our lawn so we feed her with bread and corn seed. Peggy is returning the kindness by producing an egg a day – on our back lawn! We now have a dozen duck eggs and I’m looking for ideas on the best way to use them.”

Valerie from Taupo has this suggestion. “Make Scotch pancakes/pikelets. You will need 2 duck eggs, 4 tablespoons white sugar, 3 cups self raising flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, full cream milk – to mix. Beat the eggs and add the sugar. Combine baking soda and cream of tartar with the flour and sift into the egg mix, adding milk as you go until it’s a dropping consistency. Heat an electric flying pan and smear with butter. Drop in tablespoons of the mix and turn when covered with bubbles. Stow under a linen tea towel. Lovely the next day with bacon or served with fried eggs.” Many thanks for the recipe Valerie – we have tried it and can say they are delicious (oily rag ed).
