Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing my 9×9 inch baking pan. If you prefer easy cleanup, lining the pan with parchment paper works wonders too! In a medium bowl, I mix together the melted butter and sugar until it’s nice and smooth. I then add in the eggs and vanilla, whisking until it’s all combined beautifully. The smell of vanilla wafting through my kitchen already has me excited for what’s coming next! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
