Can You Make Them Ahead?
They’re best served fresh but you can assemble them ahead and cook later or cook them and then reheat them if that works for you.
Storage Instructions:
Leftovers will become less crispy the longer they’re kept but it’s better to enjoy these reheated than waste them. If you have some left, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat within 2 days.
Variations and Substitutions:
Swap the strawberries for other berries if you like, such as blackberries, raspberries or pitted cherries. You could also use a different kind of soft fruit like peaches. Nutmeg would work in place of the cinnamon.
