Tips and Tricks: Navigating the Simple yet Crucial Details

First of all, there are plenty of ways to pour the batter. You can use a spouted pot (like in the directions above) or you can use a squeeze bottle, which is way easier to handle. It’s all up to you, you can use anything you’re most comfortable with (as long as the batter is poured in a nice, consistent
stream).

Also, the oil shouldn’t be too hot or your cake may fall apart; use the spoon
method in the recipe to make sure the oil is just right. Keep your pot at a safe distance from the oil, not too far; may make your cake fall apart as well.
