Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, grab a mixing bowl and combine the diced strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar. This will help draw out the juices from the strawberries and intensify their flavor. Furthermore, it’s an excellent way to let the strawberries marinate while we prepare the batter. After letting them sit for about 10 minutes, they’ll be all ready to add to our mixture. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
