  5. Add milk and stir until a smooth batter forms.
  6. Remove baking dish from oven and pour batter evenly into the dish.

Notes

Frozen blueberries can be used; add them directly without thawing.

Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and works well as a substitute for whole milk.

Try mixing in blackberries or raspberries for variation.

Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warmer flavor profile.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat in the microwave or oven to restore warmth and texture.

Freeze for up to 2 months; thaw before reheating.
