      They can be soggy before cooking, as that’s the part where they get crunchy!

    I notice that under the subheadline “Can I cook from Frozen”, the text says put in oven at 450F for 30-35 mins. However in the instruction NOTE for cooking from frozen, you have listed the temp is 350F for 30-35 mins. We went with our gut and baked at 350F for 35 mins and results were great! Thanks for this recipe – much happier with a healthy option.

      Can these be fried in oil instead of baked AFTER they have been in the freezer. We make ours with the same ingredients but we fry them in a electric fry pan at 350

    I didn’t see an answer to the question” can these be prepared overnight or a few hours ahead? I don’t have the energy or the strength to do it all at once. These are my family’s absolute favorite, so they are always on Gram’s please bring “ list !
