2. Preheat your oven to 350° F. Once your pork noisette has cooled, outfit a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Cream together the pork noisette and the brown sugar on medium high speed until fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and return the mixer to medium speed. Add the eggs, one at a time until they are just incorporated. Add the vanilla and mix.

3. Combine the salt and flour in a separate bowl and whisk to combine. With the mixer set to low, begin adding your flour and salt mixture until fully incorporated.

4. Line a half sheet tray with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the tray and use an offset spatula to smooth the batter.
