  • Serving suggestions: with milk, cane syrup, sugar, preserves, or coffee milk (cafe au lait).
  • Take a peak at the underside of the batter while it's browning to make sure it does not scorch or burn before turning it over.
  • Use the spatula to cut the couche couche into pie shapes, turning it over before covering the skillet.
