Tips and Variations

Room-temp everything prevents lumps/seizure; boil water fresh off-stove. Glass dish sauce-holds best; metal browns crisper—grease foil overhang lifts clean. Jiggle normal—overbake dries sauce.

  • Pumpkin: 1/2 cup puree + spices milk.

Dietary Swaps: Keto: almond flour + erythritol + xanthan; gluten-free 1:1 blend; vegan flax eggs + plant milk/butter. Serves 8-12; ~400 calories generous scoop.

Storage Hacks: Room temp covered 1 day; fridge airtight 4 days (reheat 350°F/10 min +water splash); freeze baked portions 2 months—thaw oven 325°F/15 min foil-covered.
