Instructions

    Add butter and water. Stir until the batter is smooth and fully combined.

  3. Step 3

    Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds until the surface looks set but still jiggles slightly in the center.

  4. Step 4

    Let cool for 30 seconds. Serve warm directly from the mug with a spoon.
