Recipe View 25 mins Griddle to Perfection (20-30 minutes): Heat a heavy, ungreased skillet over low heat. Gently place the cakes in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on each side.

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular melted butter.
If you don't have time for a full rise, you can do a shorter proof in a warm oven.
These muffins are delicious served warm with butter, jam, or honey. They also make a great base for savory toppings.
