FAQ
Can I use frozen redcurrants?
Yes, but do not thaw first. Add directly from freezer and fold gently. Baking time may increase by 2-3 minutes.
How long do these keep?
Room temperature 2 days in an airtight container. Refrigerated 5 days. Frozen up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature or reheat in a 300F oven.
Can I use a different sweetener?
Yes. Erythritol, monk fruit, and stevia work 1:1. Some syrups like maple require a 3:1 ratio and add carbs. Taste batter before baking to adjust.
