I know…I know…this blog has been a bit of blueberry overkill lately. But these fritters were too delicious to not share the recipe. Also, they’d be great for a quick, last minute breakfast on the Fourth of July. With the blueberries and powdered sugar, you’ve got the blue and white covered.
Blueberry Fritters
- 1 c. flour
- 1 1/2 t. baking powder
- 1/2 t. salt
- 2 T. sugar
- 1/3 c. milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 t. vanilla
- 1 – 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (If using frozen, do not thaw first.)
- Oil for frying
1. Combine the flour, baking pwder, salt and sugar in a bowl. In a separate bowl or cup, whisk together the milk, eggs and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture and stir until a smooth dough is formed. Fold in blueberries. (It’s okay if some break or mash while stirring.)
2. Heat about an inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop dough by tablespoons into oil and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until lightly browned. (Watch them carefully so that the insides cook before the outside burns.) Drain on paper towels and roll in powdered sugar when cooled.
I just love the pretty blue color the insides turn.
I may have to make those tomorrow. I’ve been stashing blueberries in the freezer.
Kate, We took your advice and had these for breakfast. They were delicious. Thanks for the recipe!! Happy 4th.

Our neighbor has a blueberry bush and doesn’t know what to do with her haul. We end up receiving a lot, and my husband would love this recipe (he’s the one who orders the blueberry doughnut, while the rest of us go straight for the chocolate glazed).
Best,

Oh wow – these look amazing!!! I probably shouldn’t make them – I’d eat every last one of them. LOVE blueberries.
Wow. Those look fantastic! And sinful!
Whew… couldn’t find this post on your index and was dying to make them tomorrow for breakfast. Love the site, keep it up!
Well, it took longer than planned, but I made them! I love this recipe, Kate! I posted pictures and my review on my blog: http://momstoppable.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-attempt-at-blueberry-fritters.html
They were great, Kate—thanks for the recipe!
Oh, boy! Those look so good.
