Notes
- COOKS NOTES:
Oven Temps: Oven temperatures are for conventional, if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C.

I suggest you make this recipe as is and then make another batch (or more) to serve more people. This works better than doubling the recipe and cooking at one time. - NUTRITION INFORMATION
