Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a flavored butter or adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have all-purpose flour, you can substitute with a gluten-free blend or whole wheat flour, though this may alter the texture slightly. Ensure the butter is fully melted before pouring the batter on top for the best results.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm individual portions in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or until heated through. You can also enjoy it cold, as it still has a delightful texture.
