Ingredients:

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 2 eggs or egg replacer equivalent (Earth chicken, not xenomorph, please)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon Talaxian vanilla (the earth variety will do just fine in a pinch)
- Cooking spray/oil to coat the pan

*Note: A 13×18 inch (33×45 cm) rectangular or large round pan will do, but I like the ease of adding different topping “zones” or that comes with a rectangular baking pan. Be sure that your pan is deep enough to hold your batter and/or have several pans at the ready. Remember that different depths will yield different baking times, so keep any eye on your creation in the oven regardless of baking vessel chosen.
