Step2Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat (350°F). (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Brush griddle with vegetable oil or shortening if necessary. In medium bowl, beat eggs, 1/2 cup whipping cream, the brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla with whisk until well mixed.
