  • Question
    Hi! I tried libum at a convention, and the man hosting the colloquia made the libum on a pancake griddle, but said they could also be baked. Can this recipe be cooked the same way?

    Yes, libum can be cooked on a pancake griddle, although you wouldn't achieve the same finish as you would if you baked it.

    Yes. As the cake contains cheese and eggs, it would keep best if kept refrigerated.
