I’ve been wanting to try this one for some time now. I came across it on Alexandra’s Kitchen. I modified it a little and I think it turned out great. It’s very light and crumbly and being a morning coffee drinker, goes excellent with a nice hot cup. Actually it’s yummy any time of the day. After eating one piece, it wasn’t long after that I found myself cutting another piece! I had a whole mess of blueberries in my freezer having picked some from my parent’s blueberry bush back in Louisiana a while back. Frozen or fresh, it doesn’t really make a difference!
