🌈 Variations & Pro Hacks

🌱 Gluten-Free? Use 1:1 GF flour blend — works great!

🧊 Make-Ahead Magic: Store at room temp 3 days, refrigerate up to 5, or freeze for 3 months

❄️ Freeze It! Wrap tightly — thaw overnight, reheat at 300°F for 10 mins

🫐 Other Berries? Swap in raspberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries

🍯 Extra Zing: Add ½ tsp poppy seeds to the batter for crunch

🧠 Why This Works So Well

Lemon zest = maximum flavor — oils in the peel pack more punch than juice alone

Buttermilk option adds tang and tenderness

Tossing berries in flour keeps them suspended

Simple stirring prevents tough gluten development

It’s not magic — it’s smart baking. ✨
