Liquid Ingredients and Fats:
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- ¼ cup milk
Glaze Ingredients:
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Whisk melted butter, sugar, and eggs in a spacious mixing vessel until achieving a velvety, homogeneous texture.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a separate container, creating a delicate dry blend.
- Progressively incorporate the dry mixture into the egg foundation, observing the batter transform into a dense consistency.
- Introduce milk gradually, allowing the mixer to streamline the batter into a more fluid state.
- Delicately integrate fresh blueberries, maintaining their structural integrity by using a gentle folding technique.
- Prepare a deep skillet or fryer, heating culinary oil to an optimal temperature range of 340-350°F.
- Carefully release measured batter portions into the sizzling oil, allowing each fritter to develop a golden-brown exterior.
- Rotate fritters midway through cooking to ensure uniform caramelization, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer freshly fried fritters onto an absorbent paper towel surface to eliminate excess oil.

- While fritters remain warm, lavishly drizzle the glossy glaze, creating an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- Blueberry Magic: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter to prevent crushing, ensuring juicy bursts of fruit in every bite.
- Temperature Matters: Maintain oil heat between 340-350°F for perfectly golden, crispy fritters without burning or undercooking.
- Batter Consistency: Gradually add milk to create a smooth, pourable batter that ensures light and airy fritter texture.
- Draining Technique: Use paper towel-lined plates to remove excess oil, keeping fritters crisp and not greasy.
- Glaze While Warm: Spoon creamy vanilla glaze over hot fritters for maximum flavor absorption and a decadent finish.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare batter in advance and refrigerate, but fry fritters fresh for optimal crispiness and taste.
