Ingredients for Berry Boy Bait

  • Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large eggs

How to Make Berry Boy Bait

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Reduce mixer speed to medium. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, toss 1/2 cup of your favorite berries with 1 teaspoon of flour.
  7. Gently fold the floured berries into the batter using a rubber spatula.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Scatter another 1/2 cup of berries over the top of the batter.
  10. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the berries.
  11. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
