1.5 recipes worked really well! Was expecting center to be thicker but it wasn’t. Just rose more. Used fat skimmed from beef stock (made with short ribs; base for gravy). I always make batter in the morning and let it sit on the counter all day. Bubbles and looks odd by dinner time but it cooks up beautifully.
Used 1 box (8oz) cream cheese and added 1/4 tsp per stick of unsalted butter to the recipe. May try maple syrup extract instead of Vanilla next time. Only needed to bake for 20 min!
