Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes! Just toss them in 1 tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent bleeding.

What if I don’t have buttermilk?
Make your own by mixing 1 ¾ cups milk + 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes before using.

Can I make these gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the flour with a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.

How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

What’s the best way to reheat?
To keep them crispy, reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes. For a quick fix, microwave for 15-20 seconds.
