Notes
Measuring Flour: We highly recommend using a kitchen scale to measure flour. If measuring by volume, use the spoon and level method to avoid over-measuring. Use a spoon to lightly scoop flour into the measuring cup until it’s completely full. Then run the back of a knife over the cup to gently scrape off any excess.
Blackberries: To substitute frozen blackberries, do not thaw. Add to the batter directly from the freezer and increase the cooking time by several minutes if necessary.
Storing: Cover and store at room temperature for several days or keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
