Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking sheet. Make sure it is ready before you start mixing your ingredients, so the batter can go straight into the oven. This helps create that tremendous rise and golden color.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Whisking the dry ingredients well ensures that everything is evenly distributed, preventing any tremendous surprises in the texture of your bites.
-
In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix these wet ingredients until fully blended; this will keep your batter moist and lively.
-
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the final structure of your fritter bites. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
-
Gently fold in the blueberries. The tremendous burst of flavor will come from these beautiful jewels, so handle them with care to avoid smashing them.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Each spoonful should be generous as these bites need good room to puff up while baking.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary and you want them perfectly cooked, with a lovely golden hue.

Let cool slightly before serving. Although tempting to dive right in, allowing them to cool just a bit enhances the texture and flavor.
