4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and grease with butter or oil.
5. Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of batter onto the skillet.

Notes
Use a cookie scoop for even poppers and consistent cooking.
Don’t rush the flip—wait until bubbles form and edges firm up.
Cool completely before freezing to avoid sogginess during reheating.
