Note

For best results, use a glass pie pan as it conducts heat well to create crispy edges.

This pancake is best served immediately while hot and puffy. It will deflate slightly as it cools but remains delicious.

Variations: Serve with fresh berries, sliced bananas, apple slices, or a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.

Safety: Be careful when handling the hot pan from the oven; use oven mitts.
