PJ, these look wonderful! I have a question as a learning baker, when is it OK to use a silpat instead of parchment paper? I noticed you said it made for easy clean-up in this case, that it was a not a sticking issue, but I've become routine with the silpat and baking sheet combo for clean up and making sure all my goodies don't stick. Does the silpat impair any browning or cooking method that I should be aware ? Curious minds need to know!! Thanks for the challenge and the fun that I look forward to every month.
