Notes

For an extra fluffy pionono, use room temperature eggs. Sifting the dry ingredients multiple times ensures a smoother texture. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
