• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 cup bacon grease with a bit of neutral flavored oil to top off the measuring cup
• 2 large egg (can substitute 1/4 cup banana or applesauce for each egg to make egg-free)
• 3/4 milk; dairy and non-dairy both work
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 6 to 8 ounces fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw frozen) (about 1 cup)
