Take out from the pan, place it on a cooling rack and let it cool for some time.

Please wait until it cools down completely, then cut it in to pieces and enjoy!

Storage

You can store at room temperature for about 5 days.

If it gets dry, warm it in the microwave for about 20 seconds, then it will get fluffy again.

For longer storage, you can freeze it. Wrap each piece in a plastic wrap and store in the freezer. It will last about one month.
