FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen raspberries?
A: Yes. Thaw them a bit and drain extra juice before you add them.

Q: Can I use margarine instead of butter?
A: You can, but butter gives a richer taste and better crumb.

Q: How do I cut neat bars?
A: Chill the pan after it cools, then use a sharp knife and wipe the knife between cuts.

Q: Can I make this in a larger pan?
A: Yes. If you use a 9×13 pan, bake a bit less or check at 20 minutes, as layer depth will change.
