Things to know about blueberries in baking!
How do you prevent fresh blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake?
This is one of the most asked questions when baking with blueberries. To prevent the berries from sinking, toss the blueberries with some of the measured flour before folding them into the batter.
What is better frozen or fresh blueberries in baking?
Fresh blueberries will give you a better texture and fresh flavour in coffee cakes and muffins because they will not be fully cooked. On the other hand, frozen blueberries are good for pies, tarts and jams. But you can use either with some tweaks.
How do you prevent frozen blueberries from sinking to the bottom?
Frozen blueberries act differently in cakes. To avoid the soggy bottoms in cakes or muffins, spoon a third of the batter into the cake or muffin pan first. Then fold in floured blueberries in the remaining batter and spoon on top of the batter that is without the blueberries.
Should you thaw frozen blueberries before baking?
For baking, you don’t need to thaw frozen blueberries. However, it is best to thaw the blueberries first when preparing anything with a short cooking time, like pancakes.
