Melt a small amount of butter in a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat .
Too hot = burnt outside, raw inside.
Too low = pale and greasy.
Cook each slice for 3–4 minutes per side , until deeply golden and crisp.
Flip only once — pressing down ruins the fluffiness.
Step 5: Keep Warm
Place cooked slices on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you finish the batch.
This keeps them warm and crisp — no soggy stacks.
