Needs review

Uncertain instruction ending after “pan”: A faint parenthetical or trailing mark appears after “pan,” but reading and meaning cannot be established. Candidates: “(loose”, “(loop”.

Uncertain uncertainties: The faint parenthetical remains unreadable. The source also ends after beating the eggs into the dough and supplies no shaping, frying or baking, fat, cooking temperature, doneness endpoint, or draining step.
