It seems this would easily convert to KFP if we switch the corn starch to potato starch. Maskim?
We haven’t tested it, but that should work! Let us know if you try it out.

can this recipe be served on shabbas at room temperature or it is better fresh?
Hi Neema,
It’s going to be better fresh, but will still be delicious at room temp!
