Chef's Notes
Treat your batter like a sleeping royal infant; do not disturb its fermentation sanctuary or you shall pay the price with dense, heavy hockey pucks instead of clouds.
Pro Tip
If your kitchen is too cold for proper fermentation, turn your oven on for just one minute, turn it off, and place your covered batter inside with the oven light on for a cozy tropical vacation.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Attempting to rush the fermentation in a microwave because you lack patience, resulting in a disastrously cooked, rubbery disaster that even the stray animals would politely decline.

Royal Court Comedy
