    FAQs

    Can I use a different type of flour?

    I have personally only used all-purpose flour for this recipe, so I can’t vouch for any other type of flour!

    Should I use fresh or frozen berries?

    Either works! It doesn’t make a difference for this recipe. If you are using frozen, don’t thaw them out before using them.

    Can I use a different berry?

    Yes! I love this recipe with the blackberries, but raspberries or blueberries would also work.

    Can I use salted butter?

    Ok look, I’m no professional baker. BUT sometimes I use salted butter instead of unsalted for baking if it’s all I have. I don’t really notice much of a difference, but I have not done it specifically for this recipe so the real answer is, I don’t know!

        Hi, I've never had this problem. However, I always make sure to beat it until all ingredients are completely incorporated/the batter is smooth.

        This happened to mine as well! It’s the butter re solidifying so I’d recommend mixing the the room temp butte, eggs, vanilla together first until smooth and then adding in the yogurt and lemon juice after. I added my yogurt right from the fridge which is likely what caused the butter to clump. You could also let the yogurt get to room temp before adding to be safe! But it is not curdled!
