Notes

TIP: USE YOUR AIR FRYER: You can utilize your air fryer as an alternative way to bake your Babootie, as long as the dish can fit inside. Begin by preheating your air fryer at 170 degrees for 5 minutes. Afterwards, carefully place your Babootie dish inside and allow it to bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the custard has set.
