Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe grapes: Fresh grapes will have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than grapes that are past their prime.
- Choose a variety of grapes: Using a variety of grapes will give your squares a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include red grapes, green grapes, and black grapes.
- Wash the grapes thoroughly: Be sure to wash the grapes thoroughly before using them to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the grapes into even pieces.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the squares until they are golden brown: The squares are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
