Notes:
*The higher the temperature, the shorter it cooks

After I flipped it I removed the teflex sheet

This is how it looks folded. I am just showing that it's pliable

~~Note: Eat depending on how much sugar your body needs. I recommend testing your blood sugar after you eat to see the portion that works well for your body's needs.~~

You can create small spring roll wrappers by cutting 1 sheet into 2 or 3 or 4.
Cut the roll into 2 pcs
Enjoy.
