  15. If the berries are large most will sink to the bottom. Maybe scatter over the top and poke them down a little instead if so? Or use smaller berries. Or who cares if they sink.

Very good; I wouldn’t object to them being a little moister, but you’d definitely be edging into muffin territory at that point. Reserving a third of the berries and dropping them in over the top about 10 or 20 minutes into the cooking is a great way to balance out all the ones that fall to the bottom.

Super easy to make and it tastes awesome. Mine was done between 40 and 45 minutes but other than that the recipe was perfect!

I halved the recipe, but otherwise AMAZING!

Turned out great! Thanks, Chef John! David Carbone here. I didn’t have buttermilk so I added 2 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar to whole milk. Ran out of whole milk so used oat milk. Also used golden sugar because that’s what I had.

Gorgeous recipe!!! Made it for a bunch of Europeans- it went down a treat!

So good! I coated the bigger berries in flour to prevent them from sinking and also scattered some on top. A fair amount still sunk to the bottom, but lots of them stayed suspended. I also had set the timer for 50 minutes, but ended up taking it out about 7 minutes early because the top was getting pretty browned. It was definitely done, even at 43 minutes. But overall it was really yummy and would probs be great with some whipped cream, ice cream, or maybe served with a little melted butter on top. Definitely going to make this again!

If you want to keep blueberries from sinking, dust them with a bit of flour before adding.
