Tips For Success

• I used frozen blueberries for this very successfully. I wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.
• Lightly tossing the blueberries in a little flour can help prevent them from sinking in the batter.
• These can be frozen for future use by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap after they are fully cooled and then placed in a freezer bag.
