  • 2 tbsp butter

Notes

To store, let cakes cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for up to a month. Don't overmix the ingredients to keep the cakes light and fluffy. Test the skillet heat with a small piece of the mixture; if it sizzles, it's ready for cooking.
