Recipe Success Tips

🫐

Fresh or Frozen?

Both fresh and frozen blueberries work great! If using frozen, don't thaw them first to prevent color bleeding into your dough or batter.

🥶

Keep Ingredients Cold

For the flakiest croissants, work quickly with cold crescent dough. For waffles, room temperature ingredients blend more easily.

🍯

Sauce Consistency

The blueberry sauce will thicken as it cools. If it becomes too thick, simply add a tablespoon of orange juice and warm gently.

⏰

Make Ahead

Prepare the blueberry sauce up to 3 days in advance and store in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving.
