Notes, tips, and variations
[edit | edit source]- If you're serving this to somebody with a peanut allergy, don't be worried. The allergens are in the protein part, not the fat part. However, steer clear of these peanut oils: Cold press and organic, which we wouldn't use anyways, because they have too low of a smoke point.
