Adjust water gradually to achieve proper batter consistency - it should be thick but not stiff.
Use silicone liners for easiest removal, or grease parchment liners well to prevent sticking.

FAQ
Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh blueberries work well but may bleed less color into the batter. Coat them in flour mixture before folding in to prevent sinking.
