Notes
- Get yourself a cast-iron skillet [Amazon Affiliate Link] if you don’t already have one!
- I added dry ingredients into wet. Feel free to do the opposite. No big deal.
- Use pot holders when handling your hot cast-iron.
- When removing the pancake, use a good metal spatula to slide underneath and make sure nothing sticks.
- Top with a little lemon juice and powdered sugar, but syrup works well, too.
