Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep the strawberries in the morning and leave the batter in the fridge. Finish it right before dinner. It keeps the flavor fresh and saves time later.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes, but thaw and drain them first. Frozen berries release more water, so a little extra cornstarch helps. Pat them dry so the batter does not become too watery.

Is there a gluten-free option?

Yes. Use a gluten-free flour blend and ensure your baking powder is gluten-free. The texture will be slightly different, but still very good.

How do I prevent a soggy bottom?

Make sure the cornstarch is mixed with the fruit. Let the fruit sit with sugar for 10 minutes so juices start to thicken. Do not overpour batter; a slightly thicker batter helps.

Can I halve the recipe?

Yes. Use a smaller dish and adjust baking time by 5 to 10 minutes. Watch for bubbling edges and a golden top.
