Notes

You can adjust the batter to your liking—no need to follow the measurements.

You do not need to microwave the batter in a mug—any microwave-safe container will do.

This recipe is easily adjustable, so feel free to add what you want to the batter.

You can add any topping you like.

Microwave it for longer if you think it is not thoroughly cooked or for shorter if you think it will be over-done.
