Summer is nearly here, it is slowly entering our homes, especially kitchens where we prepare light, delicious, summer meals and desserts. Markets and supermarkets offer a variety of fresh, delicious summer fruit, blueberries, as well.
They are very healthy, especially eaten fresh. You can put them in various treats, too. I like to eat them all year long and you can always find some frozen blueberries in my freezer. Warm and sunny summer days invite us to spend more time outside, in the countryside.

Is the powdered sugar supposed to be divided, reserving some for rolling balls in, or do you add it all to the batter and then take more for the balls? Thank you, I really know we would love these, but I know too much or too little powdered sugar could ruin them.

Hi Sandra, Yes, powdered sugar is divided, reserving some for rolling balls (for about 1/4 - 1/3 cup). Regards, Dragana
