Hi! You can keep them in fridge, then microwave them before eating.
And sorry I’m not really sure about setting in your oven. If it reaches the same temperature, then you definitely can use it.
Ugh! I have a hard time with the gram to teaspoon/tablespoon/cup conversion. It takes 15 to 20minutes longer for me to prepare the recipe before I cook it. I actually ordered a magnet conversion chart this morning for my refrigerator for the next time.
Buy a cheap kitchen scale and all your baking will be easier, quicker and more accurate. These days i avoid the recipes that don’t use metric.
My mom is always asking me to grab a box of these and make them for her. I saw this recipe and immediately got to work. They came out great! And so easy!
Mom says they’re better than the box kind. My own input is that next time I will cut the garlic powder in half. Thanks Natasha!
Has anyone tried freezing them before baking?
