Notes
Note 1: Ingredient Substitutions
If you need to substitute any ingredients, ensure that the replacements have similar moisture and binding properties to maintain texture.
Note 2: Oven Variability
Ovens can vary in temperature accuracy. It may be necessary to adjust your cooking time based on your specific oven’s behavior.
Note 3: Storage Suggestions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Most baked goods can be kept at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated for longer preservation.
