- Proper Griddle Temperature: Heat your griddle to medium heat. A drop of water should sizzle and evaporate quickly. This ensures even cooking and a beautiful golden-brown finish.
- Quality Coffee: While instant coffee is key for convenience, using a good quality instant coffee will elevate the flavor even further.
