Notes

​Note 1: Make sure to use hot milk and butter mixed together, and add it gradually so the batter gets the right loose consistency.
​Note 2: No oven or beater is needed; you can easily mix everything using a regular mixer jar.
​Note 3: If you don't have butter paper, grease the baking pan with ghee or butter and dust it with a little maida before pouring the batter.
