Notes
Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe. If you're using unsalted butter, you may find that you want to increase the amount of salt to 3/4 teaspoon.
Milk: You can use any milk from skim milk to whole milk in this recipe.
Flour: To properly measure the flour, either weigh the flour (you can find the weight by clicking the METRIC button directly underneath the ingredients) or by sifting the flour and then lightly spooning it into the measuring cup.
Blueberries: If you prefer, you can use an equal amount of frozen blueberries. If using frozen berries, don't thaw before using.
Raw sugar: The sugar adds a little bit of texture. However, you can feel free to omit the sugar.
