Pro Tips and Timesaver Shortcuts
- I use salted butter, but you can if you use unsalted, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the dry ingredients.
- Use softened butter for easy blending of the coffee cake, but use cold butter for the topping for best results.
- You can use a fork in the place of a pastry cutter. It takes a little longer but it works. Sometimes I use two forks together,
