The parts near the edge of the pan don't cook as well and end up very
pale. I generally solve the problem by flipping them in a way that
puts the other side of the undercooked portion nearer to the center
of the pan, but it would be easier if the pan heated uniformly.

They don't stick. My daughter, who is eating them without putting
anything on them, likes them better when they are buttery from the
pan and she says thank you very sweetly.
