Notes
Preheat Properly – Ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Don’t Overload the Iron – Too much batter can overflow.
Use Parchment – If sticking is an issue, cut a round of parchment for easy removal.
Cheese Type Matters – Cheddar gives a crispy texture; mozzarella offers mild flavor.
Cool for Crispiness – Letting them cool slightly before eating improves the crunch.
