This will help prevent the squares from becoming soggy. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the squares tough. - Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the squares. This will help them cook evenly. - Cook the squares over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides. - Serve the squares hot with your favorite dipping sauce.Conclusion:
