Hi Zona, I want to make this but do not have an electric skillet. Can I use a pancake grill and cook on high? Please let me know

Hi Fina, to make with a pancake grill on the stove I think high heat would be too high and I would suggest start at medium heat. You can always turn it up if it's not cooking quick enough.
