For a richer flavor, use salted butter instead of margarine.
Ensure all ingredients, especially eggs and milk, are at room temperature for optimal emulsification and a smoother batter.
Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to prevent a tough cake.
The addition of rice flour contributes to a slightly chewy texture, characteristic of traditional Honduran quesadillas.
The topping can be customized with other seeds or spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg.
Store cooled quesadillas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
