I've had this recipe 40 years and it’s just perfect! I am lucky enough to live near a farm that offers Pick Your Own blueberries in the summer. I pick and freeze them every year so I have plenty throughout winter! This is just the right size for a brunch. I sometimes add some fresh grated lemon zest to the batter and a drizzle of powdered sugar icing on top to fancy it up!
