for 15-20 minutes before rolling it out This prevents cracking and breaking.
• Check doneness before removing — Underbaking leaves a wet center while overbaking dries it out
Insert a toothpick to test — it should come out clean when done.

vanilla works well, or get creative with flavors like cinnamon or chocolate ice cream.
