 ** Helpful Tip: If you plan on using frozen berries, because of all the extra water that frozen berries contain, they will be heavy and they will likely sink to the bottom while baking. So to prevent this from happening, as soon as you're ready to add your berries on top of the batter, take them out of the freezer and coat them in some flour before adding them on top.

Hi, would you consider dual measurements? Some of us find metric ones much easier. The conversion tools are not always accurate. Thank you so much.
