Hi Michelle: It's 1/3 cup of milk. As far as frozen blueberries go, I imagine you can, though I have never tried. I don't think it would hurt it, I'd probably skip the flouring of the blueberries if they were frozen though.

Hi Jorja:
I'm sure you can use butter, but the texture and taste will be different. It will still be fine, but for the true texture and taste I would suggest using the recipe as written! Good luck either way!
