Notes

• Ensure the pancake is not too thick to allow even cooking.
• Using a non-stick skillet helps prevent sticking and easy flipping.
• Fresh dill enhances flavor, but you can substitute with parsley or chives if preferred.
• Serve with sour cream or a dipping sauce of your choice for extra taste.
• Can be reheated in a skillet to retain crispiness.
