Notes
Use at room temperature eggs: It is crucial to use at room temperature eggs when baking. You will achieve a lighter texture.
Don't open the oven to peek inside: We all know that it's hard not to look inside the oven. But please don't do it. Otherwise, your pancake won't rise and cook properly.
Don't wait too long to eat your pancake: This pancake is best and creamier when served warm.
Make sure you use an 8-inch skillet pan: The batter in this recipe is the perfect fit for an 8-inch sized pan. If you don't have a cast-iron pan, you can use any oven-safe pan.
