Can you substitute the buttermilk?
Yes – milk with a splash of white vinegar or coconut milk will also work
Hi Dana,
What size pan did you use? Sounds yummy!
Hi – I often use a 6 or 7-inch round or square baking pan but you can use whatever fits in your air fyer.
I just made this. It is wonderful!! It is buttery, with a light sweetness. Thank you for the recipe.
yay – so glad you enjoyed! Perfect time of year for berry shortcake 🙂
How much sugar in with the berries and how much sugar in the batter?
1 tbsp for the berries and 2 tsp for the batter! You can use a little less with the berries if they are nice and sweet!
I just made this, and it turned out very nicely! Thank you for sharing it with all of us!
So glad you enjoyed it. I am planning on making some this weekend as well 🙂
