Note

Ensure the millet is fully cooled before mixing; warm millet may become too sticky and difficult to shape.

You can substitute hazelnut flour with ground almonds, cashews, or other nuts for a different flavor profile.

If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more arrowroot powder or nut flour. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water.

For a lighter option, bake the patties at 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, instead of frying.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
