Tips For Baking with Berries
- Prevent berries from sinking – The best way to prevent berries from sinking in baked goods is to lightly toss them in flour or cornstarch before adding them to the batter.
- Folding berries into batter – Always lightly fold the berries into batter. The colour is very strong and if you stir too much you can break up some berries. As well, the colour will run into the batter.
- Using frozen berries – Frozen berries should be added to batter while they are still frozen. Allowing the berries to defrost will result in too much liquid and it will completely change the colour of the batter.
