Notes

Tip
Frozen berries tend to be cheaper than fresh especially outside of their growing season. I watch for the frozen berries to come on special at the supermarket and then buy to stock up my freezer.
Tip
If you don’t have a food processor you can just rub the cold butter through the flour and sugar until it resembles breadcrumbs.
