For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of shortening. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds also work well. For a hint of spice, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before tossing with flour. This will help prevent them from bleeding into the batter.
